... that the My Chemical Romance song "Cancer" was written in eight minutes?

Source: https://www.altpress.com/my-chemical-romance-the-black-parade-facts-trivia/ "...it’s simple to assume that the heart-wrenching “Cancer” took a length of time to craft... In fact, that process took Gerard and producer Rob Cavallo about eight minutes."

ALT1: ... that "Cancer" was Gerard Way's attempt to write the "darkest song ever"? Source: https://www.nme.com/news/music/my-chemical-romance-135-1349066 "Speaking about the track ’Cancer’ in a statement, Way said that he wanted to write “the darkest song ever.” "

@Jonathan Deamer: Thank you for the quick review! I know that it's a bit unorthodox to have an unsourced paragraph, but I see it as being a "mini-lead" for the cover version of the song, and there is a little bit of established precedent for it in other GAs (e.g. "Love's Train"), so I figured that it would be alright.
