[Verse 1]
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 (Watcher)
Of the eternal flame
I’ll be the guard dog of all your fever dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass, glass (Glass)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Oh, I try to picture me without you, but I can’t
[Chorus]
'Cause we could be immortals
Immortals
Just not for long, for long
And live with me forever now
Mmm, pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long, for long
[Post-Chorus]
We could be immor—immortals
Immor—immortals
Immor—immortals
Immor—immortals
[Interlude]
(Imm-immortals)
[Verse 2]
Sometimes the only payoff for having any faith
Is when it’s tested again and again every day
I’m still comparing your past to my future
It might be your wound, but they’re my sutures
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass, glass (Glass)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I try to picture me without you, but I can’t
[Chorus]
Cause we could be immortals
Immortals
Just not for long, for long
And live with me forever now
Mmm, pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long, for long
[Post-Chorus]
We could be immor—immortals
Immor—immortals
[Interlude]
(Imm-immortals)
[Bridge]
And live with me forever now
Mmm, pull the blackout curtains down
[Chorus]
We could be immortals
Immortals
Just not for long, for long
[Post-Chorus]
We could be immor—immortals
Immor—immortals
Immor—immortals
Immor—immortals
[Outro]

Immortals was written by Patrick Stump & Pete Wentz & Joe Trohman & Andy Hurley.
Immortals was produced by Butch Walker & Fall Out Boy & Jake Sinclair.
Fall Out Boy released Immortals on Tue Oct 14 2014.
In an interview with LA Times, Pete Wentz, the songwriter of Fall Out Boy, said this about the theme’s central message:
When you lose somebody, you have to fill in some of those parts with other people. That’s the idea of being immortal. We’re immortal, but … our legacy is through other people.
