This became more apparent when his wife filed for divorce and his music became harder than it had been and his lyrics became more personal and harsh. He played keys on one New Found Glory song and often joined them on stage during their Back to Basics tour in the spring of 2005. More recently, Dewees has announced playing keyboard on some of My Chemical Romance's new cd. When asked about "Reggie" he said that once the new MCR cd comes out, I will be touring with them and become a full blown member of MCR.
The fifth studio album titled Last Stop: Crappy Town was released June 17, 2008.

Reggie and the Full Effect Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't make a sound sister
Hide the children
We will save this together
How do angels sleep with demons locked inside?
Lost yourself to a religion deep and wide
Show me faith, I'll show you faithfuls, running start
Nothing is more important than to educate the lost
And the weak
Are you scared?
Are you scared?
Are you scared?
Are you scared?
Save your face, you're gonna need it, slowing time
Use yourself the anger feeds it, one more line
Chip away the tie that binds you day by day
Take this pill so they can't find you, slip away
But nothing is more important than to emulate the lost
And the weak
Are you scared?
Are you scared?
Are you scared?
Are you scared?
I've been away for so long
I've been gone before
But trust me
Not anymore
Are you scared?
Are you scared?
Are you scared?
(Why do angels sleep with demons locked inside?)
Are you scared?
(Lost yourself to a religion, deep and wide)
Are you scared?
(Show me faith, I'll show you faithfuls, running start)
Are you scared?
(There's a chance we all are given, trust your heart)
Are you scared?
In Reggie and the Full Effect’s song “N”, the lyrics speak of a call to protect the innocent and helpless. The repeated chorus “hide the children, don't make a sound sister, we will save this together” reinforces the message of safeguarding the vulnerable. The song then shifts to a questioning of the religious and spiritual divides, asking how angels can possibly rest with demons inside and criticizing blindly following deep and wide religions. The songwriter then asks for faith to be demonstrated, showing that running towards it could provide a chance, asking audiences to trust their hearts. The song then returns to its refrain, urging the listener to confront their fears.
The song’s repeated call to protect and save, intertwined with issues related to faith and spirituality, creates an intense emotional experience for the listener. The question of how angels can sleep with demons inside is a striking image, and the song’s focus on education and emulation of the weak emphasizes the importance of unity and communal responsibility.
