Producer: Neal Avron

[Verse 1]
I spent most of last night dragging this lake
For the corpses of all my past mistakes
Sell me out, the joke's on you, we are salt and you are
The wound
Empty another bottle and let me tear you to pieces
This is me wishing you into the worst situations
I'm the kind of kid that can't let anything go, but you
Wouldn't know a good thing if it came up and slit your throat

[Pre-Chorus]
Whoa, whoa, ooh
Whoa, whoa

[Verse 2]
Your remorse hasn't fallen on deaf ears, rather ones that just don't care
Cause I know that you're in between arms, somewhere
Next to heartbeats where you shouldn't dare sleep
Now, I'll teach you a lesson for keeping secrets from me

[Chorus]
Take your taste back
Peel back your skin
And try to forget how it feels inside
You should try saying "No" once in a while, "No" once in a while
Take your taste back
Peel back your skin
And try to forget how it feels inside
You should try saying "No" once in a while, "No" once in a while

[Verse 3]
And did you hear the news? I could dissect you and
Gut you on this stage not as eloquent as I may have imagined
But it will get the job done, and you're
Done...
Every line is plotted and designed to leave you
Standing on your bedroom window's ledge
And everyone else that it hits, that it gets to
Is nothing more than collateral damage

[Chorus]
Take your taste back
Peel back your skin
And try to forget how it feels inside
You should try saying "No" once in a while, "No" once in a while
Take your taste back
Peel back your skin
And try to forget how it feels inside
You should try saying "No" once in a while, "No" once in a while

[Instrumental Outro]

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.
