[Verse 1]
Light that smoke, that one for giving up on me
And one just 'cause they’ll kill you sooner than my expectations
To my favorite liar, to my favorite scar (to my favorite scar!)
I could have died with you
I hope you choke on those words that kiss that bottle
Confess (so bury me in memory)
Now ask yourself, yeah, out on the insides
Said I loved you but I lied

[Pre-Chorus]
Let’s play this game, called “when you catch fire
I wouldn’t piss to put you out"
Stop burning bridges and drive off of them
So I can forget about you

[Chorus]
So bury me in memory, his smile’s your rope
So wrap it tight around your throat

[Verse 2]
On the drive home joke about the kid
You used to see and his jealousy, breaking hearts has never
Looked so cool as when you wrap your car around a tree
Your makeup looks so great next to his teeth (His teeth!)

[Pre-Chorus]
Let’s play this game, called “when you catch fire
I wouldn’t piss to put you out", no
Stop burning bridges and drive off of them
So I can forget about you

[Chorus]
So bury me in memory, his smile’s your rope
So wrap it tight around your throat
So bury me in memory, his smile’s your rope
So wrap it tight around your throat

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
So bury me in memory around your throat...

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.
