[Verse 1: Patrick Stump]
They say we are what we are
But we don’t have to be
I’m bad behavior but I do it in the best way
I’ll be the watcher of the eternal flame
I’ll be the guard dog of all your fever dreams

[Pre-Chorus: Patrick Stump]
I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass...
I’ll try to picture me without you but I can’t

[Chorus: Patrick Stump]
Cause we could be immortals, immortals
Just not for long, for long
Live with me forever now, pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long, for long
We could be immortals
Immortals, immortals, immortals
(Immortals)

[Verse 2: Patrick Stump]
Sometimes the only payoff for having any faith
Is when it’s tested again and again everyday
I’m still comparing your past to my future
It might be your wound, but they’re my sutures

[Pre-Chorus: Patrick Stump]
I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass...
I’ll try to picture me without you but I can’t

[Chorus: Patrick Stump]
Cause we could be immortals, immortals
Just not for long, for long
Live with me forever now, pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long, for long
We could be immortals
Immortals (immortals)
And if we meet forever now, pull the blackout curtains down

[Verse 3: Black Thought]
They got a lot of hate for me
They tryna keep heaven's gates open late for me
I see the way the wolves salivate for me
If I don't make it home, baby don't wait for me
Shit, there was a murder up in Harlem
I heard there was a riot down Georgia
Out in Michigan to Watts, California
God Bless Ferguson, Baltimore
Chaos and less order, we could be immortal
It's already gon' be another martyr
It's already gon' be another murder
The nature of the monster we're a part of
Say a little prayer for your son, for your daughter
Do a Hail Mary then run for the border
Where I come from, my whole life span shorter
I got stress disorder, be immortal

[Outro: Patrick Stump]
We could be immortals, immortals
Just not for long, for long
We could be immortals
Immortals, immortals, immortals

Fall Out Boy

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.
