[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
If home is where the heart is, then we're all just fucked
I can't remember
I can't remember
And I want it so bad
I'd shoot the sunshine into my veins
I can't remember
The good old days

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's kind of funny
The way we're wearing anchors on our shirts
When being anchored aboard
Just feels like a curse

[Chorus]
My mind is a safe
And if I keep it, then we all get rich
My body is an orphanage
We take everyone in
Doing lines of dust and sweat
Off last night's stage
Just to feel like you

[Verse 2]
The m-m-milligrams in my head
Burning tobacco in the wind
Chasing the direction
Chasing the direction you went
You're a bottled star
The planets align, you're just like Mars
You shine in the sky
You shine in the sky

[Pre-Chorus]
Are all the good times getting gone?
They come, and go, and go, and come, and go, oh yeah
I've got a lot of friends who are stars
But some are just black holes

[Chorus]
My mind is a safe
And if I keep it, then we all get rich
My body is an orphanage
We take everyone in
Doing lines of dust and sweat
Off last night's stage
Just to feel like you, oh

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's kind of funny
The way we're wearing anchors on our shirts
When being anchored aboard
Just feels like a curse

[Chorus]
My mind is a safe
And if I keep it, then we all get rich
My body is an orphanage
We take everyone in
Doing lines of dust and sweat
Off last night's stage
Just to feel like you...

[Outro]
If home is where the heart is, then we're all just fucked...

[Instrumental Outro]

Fall Out Boy is an American rock band hailing from Wilmette, Illinois. The band was formed in 2001 by Pete Wentz, who supplies bass and lyrics to the band, and guitarist Joe Trohman, who both used to be part of metalcore band Arma Angelus. Trohman later recruited vocalist Patrick Stump, who initially tried out as the band’s drummer, after meeting him in a bookstore. After the release of Project Rocket/Fall Out Boy, a split EP with Project Rocket. It was recorded without current drummer Andy Hurley due to him being disinterested in the project; Hurley later joined in 2003 as a replacement touring drummer.

Fueled By Ramen, who were a small independent label at the time, personally called Fall Out Boy to ask them to record a full-length record after hearing one of their demos online. This album became their 2003 debut, Take This To Your Grave, and was a tipping point between the band’s underground success to success in the mainstream. It was the band’s last album to feature Stump as the lead lyricist.

The band’s 2004 acoustic EP, My Heart Will Always Be the B-Side to My Tongue, became their first charting release and gave fans a taste of what to expect on their sophomore album From Under The Cork Tree. The album creation was set back in February 2005 after Wentz’s suicide attempt, which influenced songs such as “7 Minutes In Heaven (Atavan Halen).” The album was released in May 2005 through Island Records, featuring guest vocals from William Beckett of The Academy Is… and Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco.
