[Intro]
Riff
1, 2!

[Verse 1]
I just want to fill you all with such dread
Let you suck it out, let you suck it out 'til I'm dry and dead
Now, I've got love flowing in my nightmare girl
Caffeine cold, caffeine cold and I can't see shit

[Chorus]
Don't breathe life into a monster, then
Complain when he destroys it all, again
Don't breathe life into a monster, then
Complain when he destroys it all, again

[Verse 2]
Now, I smell like cigarettes 'cause I love to breathe your smoke
I smell like alcohol 'cause I drink to believe in more
I have three drinks before I even start to count
I think I'm gonna move way down south

[Chorus]
Don't breathe life into a monster, then
Complain when he destroys it all, again
Don't breathe life into a monster, then
Complain when he destroys it all, again

[Outro]
I'm not a monster
Just really fucked up
I'm tired
I'll see you in hell
Are you judging me?
Cold, cold person
Has anyone ever told you you're a cold human being?
Don't laugh at me
Don't laugh at me
No seriously don't laugh at me
It's not funny
I'm not joking
It's not funny
I'm not laughing

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.
