Everything we had

You were the only face I'd ever known.
I was the light from the lamp on the floor,
and only as bright as you wanted me to be.
But I am no gentleman, I can be a prick,
and I do regret more than I admit.
You have been followed back to the same place
I sat with you drink for drink.
Take the pain out of love, and then love won't exist.

Everything we had, everything we had,
everything we had, everything we had
Is no longer there.

It was the only place I'd ever known.
Turned off the light on my way out the door.
I will be watching wherever you go,
through the eyes of a fly on the wall.
You have been followed back to the same place
I sat with you drink for drink.
Take the pain out of love and then love won't exist.

Everything we had, everything we had,
everything we had, everything we had


Is no longer there, longer there.

Well, you saw for yourself, the way it played out.
For you, I am blinded.
For you, I am blinded, for you.

I am no gentleman, I can be a prick.
And I do regret more than I admit.
You have been followed back to the same place
I sat with you drink for drink.
Take the pain out of love, and then love won't exist.

Everything we had, everything we had,
(you have been followed, you have been followed.)
everything we had, everything we had.
(you have been followed, you have been followed.)
Everything we had, everything we had,
(you have been followed, you have been followed.)
everything we had...

I'll be with you wherever you go,
through the eyes of a fly on the wall.

Sleeping With Giants (Lifetime)

I’ve noticed
people, they all have motives,
different, yet all the same.
I've fumbled
through every word that I've spoken
and I barely knew your name.
I'm tongue-tied,
it runs through my blood and my insides
some things we can't escape
but if we try, if we try,
we can leave this behind

It’s been a lifetime, a lifetime we waited for
A simple question kid; are you with me or not at all?

Your eyes wide,
The always-ahead-of-the-curve type, quiet and confident
Oh, we stood there, awkward and youthful we tangled
A piece of my soul escaped
Oh, we are restless and tired of sleeping with giants
Of modern mankind with their egos of fire and it seems like



It’s been a lifetime, a lifetime we waited for
A simple question kid; are you with me or not at all?
Are we wasting time, or is it wasting us?
It’s been a lifetime waiting for now, now.

Well, you’ve got to find a way
You’ve got to find a way, you’ve got to find a way, you’ve got to find a way, you’ve got to find a way before you fold in

It’s been a lifetime, a lifetime I waited for
Simple question kid, are you with me or not at all

It’s been a lifetime, a lifetime we waited for
I need an answer, kid, you’re either with me or not at all, now, now

Are we wasting time, or is it wasting us?
It’s been a lifetime, a lifetime, a lifetime, lifetime, yeah

Well, you’ve got to find a way, you’ve got to find a way, you’ve got to find a way, you’ve got to find a way
Tell me you’ve got to find a way, you’ve got to find a way, you’ve got to find a way before you fold in

The Academy Is... Absolution Lyrics





 case is closed, you're back into focus
the jury's out, you're closing in
this battle of mind over matters spent
this scar, this scar is not permanent
choices or chances, or what sinks in water
your secret's out, what you held within
you've found your plague, your cancer, stop
i bet you've got something clever
this house is caving in
your last words, caught trembling
decisions, make decisions for your fate
your choice is the chance that you have to take
burn, stop, your time is up
you've found all of the answers
so take a breath and end this chapter
i'll bring the fire if you bring the water
face to the grave, will the killer be saved
saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life
hero be safe from the killer you made
saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life
case is closed, you're back into focus
the jury's out, you're closing in
this battle of mind over matters spent
this scar, this scar, rising the judge screams
"the courtroom is in order, you bring the victim, and we choose the martyr!"
taking time to make it up, i can't hear you scream
this house is caving in
your last words, caught trembling
decisions, make decisions for your fate
your choice is the chance that you have to take
burn, stop, your time is up
you've found all of the answers
so take a breath and end this chapter
i'll bring the fire if you bring the water
face to the grave, will the killer be saved
saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life
hero be safe from the killer you made
saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life
from this point on hear no evil, speak no tongues
and the rhythms of past lovers come together or not at all
from this point on hear no evil, speak no tongues
and the riddles don't buy onto one
burn quick, sink slow, your heart grows colder than regret
your burden stone
your heart grows colder, stillbeat, weak, and frozen
face to the grave, will the killer be saved
saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life
hero be safe from the killer you made
saved by the same hands, the same hands that frame life










The Academy Is... Almost Here Lyrics








 So listen up.
I worked in daylight feeding fashion to housewives.
For just this once, I'll take my chances on truck stops and state lines.
Go ahead and tell them again.
Well I think that I know that they won't remember.
Go ahead and tell them twice.
Yeah, twice is nice, but three times is just right.

Hey, hey now we're almost home.
I'm missing you to death, but it's all for the best, I know.
Hey, hey we're not far from home.
I've got my pride, and I'll let you sleep tonight.

So listen up.
My old friends have been dropping like houseflies.
The smoking gun still sits in my pocket and I know how to use it.
Go ahead and tell them again.
Well I think that I know that I won't forgive them
For turning their backs when we started to get busy.
Yeah twice is fine, but three times is just right.



Hey, hey now we're almost home.
I'm missing you to death, but to each his own.
Hey, hey we're not far from home.
I've got my pride, and I'll let you sleep tonight.

Hey, hey now we're almost home.
I'm missing you to death, missing you to death, oh.
Hey, hey we're not far from home.
I'll swallow my pride and push back my seat tonight.

I'm on my feet. I'm on my feet. I'm on my feet.
I'm on my feet. I'm on my feet. I'm on my feet.
This isn't like us anyway. This isn't like us anyway. This isn't like us anyway.

I'm running...

Our time is almost, our time is almost here.
(This isn't like us anyway)
(2x)
Attention! Attention!
May I have all your eyes and ears to the front of the room,
If only, if only for one second.
Will you hear what I have to say?
Oh, did I mention when I see you it stings like hell?
To the fact that we could have something that'll never happen.

This table has taken a turn for the worst.
Rock bottom and over the edge
Well it's not like it hurts that much anyway.
Upside down and inside out.
When I leave here I'm going alone.
Well it's not like, it not like it hurts much anyway.

Attention! Attention!
May I have all your eyes and ears to the front of the room,
If only, if only for one second.
Will you hear what I have to say?
Oh, did I mention when I see you it stings like hell?
To the fact that we could have something that'll never happen.
Will you hear what I have to...

This balance has weighed out our heart's desire.
I'm trying to make it alone.
Well it's not like it hurts that much anyway.


Upside down and inside out.
When I leave here I'm going alone.
But I'm dying, I'm dying to touch.
And it's not like, it not like it hurts much anyway.

Attention! Attention!
May I have all your eyes and ears to the front of the room,
If only, if only for one second.
Will you hear what I have to say?
Oh, did I mention when I see you it stings like hell?
To the fact that we could have somethin', somethin'.

Attention! Attention!
May I have all your eyes and ears to the front of the room,
If only, if only for one second.
Will you hear what I have to say?
Oh, did I mention when I see you it stings like hell?
To the fact that we could have something that'll never happen.
Will you hear what I have to (say)?

(Attention! Attention!)
Upside down and inside out.
(Attention! Attention!)
Upside down and inside out.





The Academy Is... Black Mamba Lyrics





 We've got one chance to break out
And we need it now
'Cause I'm sick and tired of waiting
Sick of this f**king apartment
Love me or leave me or rip me apart
This is the voice that I was given and
If you don't like it take a long walk
Off of the shortest pier you can find
And I'll be singing it out I'll be singing...

Oh, Mr. Magazine
I never wrote one single thing for you
Or your so-called music scene
You don't mean a thing to me

Pick it up, pick it up, it's what you wanted.
Pick it up, pick it up, and you need it too.
Pick it up, pick it up, it's what you wanted.
Pick it up, pick it up.

When they review the debut
What if the critics hate you
Don't worry 'cause they
Might just catch somebody off their feet
Well they can love it or leave it or rip it apart
We're living while we're singing
So I guess that's a step in the right direction
Clever composition in the honesty, honesty

Oh, Mr. Magazine


I never wrote one single thing for you
Or your so-called music scene
You both mean shit to me

Pick it up, pick it up, it's what you wanted.
Pick it up, pick it up, and you need it too.
Pick it up, pick it up, it's what you wanted.
Pick it up, pick it up.

So save your breath and the money you spent
Go work in retail and spare the suspense
Just don't take chances on anything at all
Anything at all

So afraid of anything that may not come that easy
Too afraid of anything that you may not have seen before
So afraid of anything that may not come that easy
Too afraid of anything that may not...

Pick it up, pick it up, it's what you wanted.
Pick it up, pick it up, and you need it too.
Pick it up, pick it up, it's what you wanted.
Pick it up, pick it up.

So save your breath and the money you spent
Go work in retail and spare the suspense
Just don't take chances on anything at all
Anything at all

The Academy Is... Bulls In Brooklyn Lyrics






 Some people have it
And other people don't
You've been making some threats
Got my name and address
I'm breaking habits
You don't wanna know
Though I'm wearing my clothes feeling cold and exposed, yeah
Woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Don't say you miss me
You probably don't
Well, I've been crossing some lines
That most folks won't, yeah
Woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Don't say you're more than this
Or above all this
With your blah blah blah and all your friends
Don't say you think you know
When you know you don't
Because tonight the bulls are in Brooklyn and you're still at home
Woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Some people have it
And other people don't
Though the road that we pave still goes both ways
I'm breaking habits
You don't wanna know
And I've been crossing some lines


That most folks won't

Don't say you're more than this
Or above all this
With your blah blah blah and all your friends
Don't say you think you know
When you know you don't
Because tonight the bulls are in Brooklyn and you're still at home
Woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Don't say you're more than this
Or above all this
With your blah blah blah and all your friends
Don't say you think you know
When you know you don't
Because tonight the bulls are in Brooklyn and say
Don't say you're more than this
Or above all this
With your blah blah blah and all your friends
Don't say you think you know
When you know you don't
Tonight the bulls are in Brooklyn and you're still at home

Woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Yeah
Woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh

Some people have it
And other people don't



The Academy Is... Checkmarks Lyrics






 So there you are, and here I stand,
As far as I remember you weren't half bad.
Your bedroom behavior was never more than checkmarks on bedposts.
For I remember we never had.

You get me out of the rain, you get me out of my clothes.
You hope I don't make a sound, you hope that nobody knows.
You get me out of the rain, you get me out of my clothes.
You hope I don't make a sound, you hope that no one...

So suck your so called pity down.
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths.
So suck your so called pity down.
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths.

So don't explain cause I know exactly what your going to say.
Big words, recycled phrases, and the bittersweet taste of other boys on your lips.
So now just sit here and talk about how you wanted it all.
So now just sit here and talk about how you wanted it all.

You get me out of the rain, you get me out of my clothes.
You hope I don't make a sound, you hope that nobody knows.


So suck your so called pity down.
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths.
So suck your so called pity down.
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths.

Do you miss looking up from the floor at my face on a stage in a crowded room?
Well it's not the same.
I bet you're still a sucker for those famous faces.
Downtown, looking down, down, looking over the crowd,
I hope you're out there, look at me now.
Well it's not the same.
Just look at how we've changed.

So suck your so called pity down.
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths.
So suck your so called pity down.
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths.




The Academy Is... Chop Chop Lyrics






 I've got myself to blame for this
I try to compensate for everything I'm not
And every face forgotten
You felt the sun warming your bed
You looked so quintessential pressed against that cross
In the face of what was lost
Well, I'm not asking much of me
And you're ignoring the matter

You'll shut me up and bleed me dry
Well, cheap champagne and a complicated lifestyle
But if nothing else matters then I will die trying
Thinking about you and I

Three years on Friday since we met
You felt that exisential kiss upon your neck
How could we forget that?
Still, I'm through acting like this feels right
And that nothing else matters

Well, you'll shut me up and bleed me dry
Well, cheap champagne and a complicated lifestyle


But if nothing else matters then I will die trying
Thinking about you and I
Trying not to think about you
Yeah

It's on yourself and no one else
It's on yourself and no one else
But without hindsight
I guess it serves me right

You'll shut me up and bleed me dry
Well, cheap champagne and a disappearing lifeline
If nothing else matters
Then I will die trying
Thinking about you and I

Shut me up and bleed me dry
It's only a matter of time
Cheap champagne and a complicated lifestyle
It's only a matter of time





The Academy Is... Classifieds Lyrics






 My life reads like the classifieds.
Pages of what's for sale; what's on the auction block.
Attention bidders! It's Lot 45.
He's got a decent voice, he's got that crooked smile.
Hold on, you haven't heard the best yet.
He writes good storylines, he's got those honest eyes.
So take him home for just nine ninety-five.
He'll sing the songs you like, he'll keep you warm at night.

Back down, cash out, that's the city for you.
Break down and back out, and get what's coming to you.
When you said you were falling apart
I thought you meant that you were falling apart.
Oh

I'm not the type to forget about nights like this,
When every single move that I make
Is documented and scored for style points.
The once ambitious one now holds the smoking gun.


And if I die in my sleep, are you still willing to be everything you promised you would be?

Back down, cash out, that's the city for you.
Break down and back out, and get what's coming to you.
When you said you were falling apart
I thought you meant that you were falling apart.
Oh

Will you be the first one to tell the neighborhood papers
And all my family and friends that still care?
Did you buy what I sold and did you feel what I told you?
I hope that you still do. Will you
Promise yourself that this isn't all we've got?

Back down, cash out, that's the city for you.
Break down and back out, and get what's coming to you.
When you said you were falling apart
I thought you meant that you were falling apart.
(2x)





The Academy Is... Dear Interceptor Lyrics






 get out of the city if it hurts
you're too blind, move it over
try to get closer to the lifestyles of the gluttons
seem so seamless and perfect
i've been the secret that you've been keeping
ears to the wall, eyes on the prize
see that you've made a mistake
and we all know what you've done here
dear interceptor, i've been waiting
show me something, hold the phone, we've found an answer
full moons and minor keys to get there faster
mirror, mirror, see this as clear as crystalline
secondhand interpreter
the spoken word for change
wait for me, i wanted to feel this safe
i can't hear you scream, hold the phone to make it better
i can't hear you scream, i wanted to feel this safe
i can't hear you
blood to the beat, this thirst of the lion can't be quenched by
cigarette strewn cubicle air
dear diluted, while you're dreaming
show me something, hold the phone, we've found an answer
full moons and minor keys to get there faster
mirror, mirror see this as clear as crystalline
secondhand interpreter
the spoken word for change
wait for me, i wanted to feel this safe.
i can't hear you scream, hold the phone to make it better
deep into the red we need a change
just look at this cardboard cutout
this puppet that you've become
let me be the first to acknowledge
you've no pride, you've no purpose
it's so typical to think less is more
when you're out of the lead
don't hurt yourself, settle for less
it's so typical to think less is more
when you're out of the lead
secondhand interpreter
the spoken word for change.
wait for me, i wanted to feel this safe
i can't hear you, hold the phone, we've found an answer



The Academy Is... Down and Out Lyrics



 


Out of the box, out of the kitchen.
Out of the world she's grown so fearful of, so fearful of.
I don't ever want to see you again.
I don't ever want to see you again.
I don't ever want to see you again.
I don't ever want to see you again, my friend.
This is the end.

Out of the house, she grabs the keys, runs for the hills and doesn't leave a letter.
That way the impact will be much better.
Away from the man that she's grown so fearful of, so fearful of.
I don't ever want to see you again.
I don't ever want to see you again.
I don't ever want to see you again.
I don't ever want to see you again.

Why, oh why, do you wear sunglasses in the home
When the sun went down about an hour ago?
Why, oh why, do you wear sunglasses in the home
When the sun went down about an hour ago?
Life should not be that way.

Always up or down, never down and out.
You dream of demons while you sleep that make you stutter when you speak.
Always up or down, never down and out.
You dream of demons while you sleep that make you stutter when you speak.
Speak now or forever hold your peace in pieces.

Now that I'm grown I've seen marriages fall to pieces.
Now that I'm grown I've seen friendships fall to pieces.


Weekend warriors, and our best friends.
The writers weren't kidding about how all good things must end.
Then again some things, then again some things are far too good,
Some things are far too good to go ahead and let go.

Always up or down, never down and out.
You dream of demons while you sleep that make you stutter when you speak.
Always up or down, never down and out.
You dream of demons while you sleep that make you stutter when you speak.
Speak now or forever hold your peace.

We won't forget Tony or Johnny, oh, oh.
No matter how they miss us they still wish us the best on the road.
Garrett took a plane to Paris, France.
Now he's cooking up entries for the pretty, pretty French girls.
Bookends, Blue and Clarity, to The Wall and Grace.
Darkside, Wish and a toast to the late Figure 8.

Weekend warriors and our best friends.
The writers weren't kidding, but the good things will live in our hearts.

Always up or down, never down and out.
You dream of demons while you sleep that make you stutter when you speak.
Always up or down, never down and out.
You dream of demons while you sleep that make you stutter when you speak.
Always up or down, never down and out.
You dream of demons while you sleep that make you stutter when you speak.
Always up or down, never down and out.
You dream of demons while you sleep that make you stutter when you speak.
Speak now or forever hold your peace in pieces





The Academy Is... In Our Defense Lyrics






 Forced to the wall,
the crosshairs shift from this tied down burden: Courage.
What did you expect?
A nightmare of reason and faith alike.
Because you take shots, my back's turned, you're gutless.
You think you're saving face
But I'll tell you what (I‘ll tell you what)

As far as you're concerned the next breath that you take should be underwater.
You're worthless. You've been told once before.
This time you're gonna get back a little more than you paid for.

Forced to the wall the record skips and this satellite sense is detecting.
You run for cover. A nightmare, a vision, a quota, a reason.
You take shots, my back's turned, you're gutless.
You think you're saving face but first things first,
this is a matter of egos and how every single shot you take
Is taken in weakness and vain.
Place your bets, it's a matter of context.

You said it, you mean it, you want it, you've got it.
I've been waiting far too long for this.
You take shots, my back's turned, you're gutless, and you've got no spine at all.
I've been waiting. Take your shot and be on your way.

Spill fiction while my back is turned, when you've got an easy target.
Build stregth, and your heart is gone.
You tell my back that you're more courageous.
We've got our souls held in this dark hotel room.
You're taking chances for the worst and the worst is yet to come.

Place your bets, it's a matter of…
You said it, you mean it, you want it, you've got it.
I've been waiting far too long for…

Show a litte backbone.
In this hole we've dug, you're never crawling out alive.
You won't make it too far, you won't get too far.
In this home we've made, you're never welcome again.
You wont make it too far.
Place your bets son, pay your ransom.
You don't know what it is to regret.



The Academy Is... Judas Kiss Lyrics



 


take, take these words in
take them like you did the foreign excitement
you bleed, lust, choke, so was it worth it
did you get what you wanted, the silent type
did you even come close, did they let you taste it
i can see how the rush, and the heat, and the touch
of a stranger gets you going
you're feeling selfish, you've got the urge
don't bother keeping your heavy breathing down
for the one who can't hear you scream
never pass off your guilt lines
just wear them like a noose on your neck
i'll help you keep it tied tight
when you feel you're close to coming
just think about that perfect subtle demon
that you've been dreaming into the light, keep it tied tight
unlike the way you've become "city feature"
you'd love to let them rip you apart
rinse and repeat, until you feel clean
but when it's over he won't take back what is left
i can see how the speed, and the sting, and the wings
on the plane home make you nervous
oh, mr. shoddy content swept all your dignity under the covers
she'll be lying, keeping secrets, keeping quiet
now you understand what it's like to dive
take it back, taken back, she forgets you
now she pleads "forgive me again, it's the last time i will"
never pass off your guilt lines
just wear them like a noose on your neck
i'll help you keep it tied tight
you're the worst actor that i've ever seen,
but if this script called for liars, you'd play the lead
"when you've changed, i'll change"
what it's like again. what you don't see
while you sleep, three year deceiver, you're not fooling
never pass off your guilt lines
just wear them like a noose on your neck
i'll help you keep it tied tight





The Academy Is... LAX to O'Hare Lyrics






 "LAX To O'Hare"

It was a plane ride from LAX to O'Hare,
and what happened next was a series of unfortunate events.
(Please stay tuned for what happened next...)
The life I breathe for you gives to me new wounds
Well to patch and dress as I reflect on what else I could give you.

Maybe I should blindly throw my faith
into the next thing that comes my way
Standing at the back door with the life that she left behind.
Are we all the same behind the frame
Beneath the glass and fake last names?
I've been waiting far too long to feel the sun on my back.

It was a big bang
and a bright white light from no where.
It turned my coach class window to
A first class seat on the evening news, on NBC.
The life I gave for you is yours
So keep it, you oughtta keep it.
If I had one last chance to take it all back
You know I'd take take take you.

Maybe I should blindly throw my faith
Into the next thing that comes my way.
Standing at the back door with the life that she left behind.
Are we all the same behind the frame


between the glass and fake last names?
I've been waiting far too long to feel the sun on my back.

"Apologies are all we'll ever be," she said.
Standing on the stairs
Looking back, looking hard at me.
"Well, life is long for those who have to wait," I said.
It's the choice I had to make.
The choice I had to make.
It's the choice I had to...
(Make)

It was a plane ride. (plane ride)
It was a plain ride. (plain ride)
It was a plain ride.
Just a plane...

Maybe I should blindly throw my faith
Into the next thing that comes my way.
Standing at the back door with the life that I'd left behind.
If we know the way we're gonna die
Through everything else we will survive.
I've been waiting far too long to feel the sun on my back-
Yeah

But one day,
I will stay.



The Academy Is... Memento Mori Lyrics






 this will die out.
Narrative: Fear. a fever is dancing in stride with our metronome memory
hipocracy here. painting a portrait that's dripping with crass composition
fumbled trust, the father is dead. cathedrals are burning
lies fuel fires, fear burns red, now i'm cold. ***going inside of our heads.
when we whisper: danger, danger, pull the lever. turn the page and i burn better in the morning.
Heartlessness. Narratives. Christ, where'd you go?
Impassioned. Abandoned. Why, you were wrong.
this will die out.
Narrative fear. a fever is dancing in stride. Metronome memory.
hipocracy here. it's painting a portrait that's screaming "the silence of dying."
fumbled trust, the father is dead. cathedrals are burning.
lies fuel fires. fear burns red and i'm cold. ***going inside of our heads.
when we whisper: danger, danger, pull the lever and i burn better in the morning.
Heartlessness. Narratives. Christ, where'd you go?
Impassioned. Abandoned. Why, you were wrong.
*long random talking*
Heartlessness. Narratives. Christ, where'd you go?
Impassioned. Abandoned. Why, you were wrong.
we've forgotten how to read. we've forgotten how to believe.
the text has gone dark. the author receeds.





The Academy Is... Neighbors Lyrics






 I took a step back
As the room was filling up
And I was packed against these people
They were tossing up a strong vibe
Now the door's locked
And the shower's on
And I realize I don't recognize anyone that I don't mind
Well the neighbors have complained damn near every night
The neighbors have complained damn near every night

You should have shown up
Should have shown up by now
You should have shown up by now
With a knock at the door
The knock at the door as it goes
Woah-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh oh-oh-oh-oh

Well now everybody's losing control
Intoxicated circulation
Just try to sit back
And get my palate wet
And get me mentally prepared for the consequences
And you know why
Because the knock at the door calls the crowd to quiet
The neighbors have complained damn near every night

You should have shown up
Should have shown up by now
You should have shown up by now
And give it a rest
Give it a rest
Give it a rest
You should have shown up
Should have shown up by now
You should have shown up by now
Should have shown up by now


With a knock at the door
A knock at the door as it goes
Woah-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh oh-oh

There's no one left
Lying on a second story floorboard
And I'm sure they heard next door
But the bottles are hollow now
And there's room at the bottom
And I would take it all back
If I could
But I won't
Sit back and get my palate wet
And get me mentally prepared for the consequences
And you know why
Because the neighbors have complained damn near every night
The neighbors have complained damn near every night

You should have shown up
Should have shown up by now
You should have shown up by now
Oh, give it a rest
Give it a rest
Give it a rest
You should have shown up
Should have shown up by now
You should have shown up by now
With a knock at the door
The knock at the door as it goes
Woah-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh oh-oh




The Academy Is... Pour Yourself Another Drink Lyrics






 Pour yourself a drink girl, then make one for me.
We haven't even met yet, and I'm already sure that we won't.
..and I'm right back where I started.
The air in here is shaking every single nerve.
I'm trying hard to let go, but my heart, it won't let me love you.
..and I'm right back where I started. Right back...
Moving on up. We're walking on the edge.
Everyone here has demons in their past
Now move it on up. You're walking on the edge.
Everyone here has demons in their past now.

The only thing worse for you than you is me.
The only thing worse for you than you is me.
The life that I've chosen to live will take your heart and swallow it
The only thing worse for you than you is to make you wait for me.
And that's why we will never meet.




The Academy Is... Same Blood Lyrics






 Like a cold day in August, I was not prepared for this
You think that nobody noticed
The way that you still care about it
By all the people we need to love and hate
Everbody makes the same mistakes
Divided by these walls
Together we are lost

But we are the same blood
All of us, we are
We are
While half of us were lost
The other half forgot
And we are the same blood
We are the same blood
We are the same

You remind me of August
The way that I still care about
All the things that you promised
When I was still around
Pick you up and drive you down

We are the same blood
All of us, we are
We are
While half of us were lost


The others are forgot
And we are the same blood
We are the same blood
We are the same blood
We are the same...

Oh oh oh oh oh oh (x2)

We are the same blood
All of us, we are
We are
We are the same blood
All of us, we are
We are
We are the same blood

(While half of us are lost)
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
(The other half forgot)

We are the same blood
We are the same blood
We are the same blood
We are the same blood

Hey hey hey




The Academy Is... Season Lyrics



 


Wake up, think fast, three weeks have passed.
We are changing. No sleep, no gas, no excuses will pass these lips
Cause we're shapin' up to be all you wish you could have been
To write the hits and to turn their heads
And to open eyes (open your eyes) to a brand new season,
A brand new season.

So show me something we haven't heard yet,
But I'm not convinced and your hopeless songs won't stick.
But I, I'll sing you something you won't forget
For the first time I know this is now who I am.

Wake up, think fast, three weeks have passed these lips
Cause we're shapin' up to be all you wish you could have been
To write the hits and to turn heads (to turn heads, to turn heads)
And to open eyes (open your eyes) to a brand new season,
A brand new season.



So show me something we haven't heard yet,
But I'm not convinced and your hopeless songs won't stick.
But I, I'll sing you something you won't forget
For the first time I know this is now who I am.

You'll see what we mean,
You'll notice when we're gone.

So show me something we haven't heard yet,
But I'm not convinced and your hopeless songs won't stick.
But I, I'll sing you something you won't forget
For the first time I know this is now who I am.

So show me something we haven't heard yet,
But I'm not convinced and your hopeless songs won't stick.
But I, I'll sing you something you won't forget
For the first time I know this is now who I am





The Academy Is... Seed Lyrics






 Subjects are thrown around the room looking for the ones that got away
I'm feeling a soft anticipation
Of a confrontation I won't make
But how do we do it?
We turned into something else entirely
We fake it
Well I wanted it so desperately to be real

Run, run
Holding onto some pieces that you left behind
Hold now
As I walk away
That you're the one that finds me out
Run from the only thing left that I hold close

While he's letting you in
You've got the feeling you've been followed
Under your skin
It will be weighing on your shoulder
Believe it

If I could express it in a different dialect
Or in a delicate way
I'd capture the phrases
Inside the cage beneath my chest and keep it locked for days
Well I wanted you so desperately to believe me

Run, run
Why're you running from another conversation?
Someone I've been planning on
And you're the one that finds me out
There's nowhere, now I found you
That I won't go

While he's letting you in
You've got the feeling you've been followed
Under your skin
It will be weighing on your shoulder


You've got that seed in you
You've got that seed in you

Run, run
What are you running from?
Let all your small steps expose your secrets
And you don't have to speak for me to believe it
But what do you mean?

Shaken and faint
You've got the feeling you've been followed
Under your skin
It will be weighing on your shoulder
You've got that seed in you
You've got that seed in...
While letting you in
You had the feeling you'd been followed
Well are you listening to anything I said?
I said
To anything I said
(You've got that seed in you
You've got that seed in...)
Said

Shaken and faint
It was the hardest thing to swallow
Pretending you don't miss me
You've got that seed in you
You've got that seed in...
While letting you in
I'll be thinking about tomorrow
And every time we cross those lines
You've got that seed in you
You've got that seed in...

I hope now
As I walk away
That you're the one that finds me out



The Academy Is... Skeptics and True Believers Lyrics






 Don't be so scared,
We will not lead
You on like you've been doing for weeks.
So you're selfish, and I'm sorry.
When I'm gone you'll be going nowhere fast
Nowhere fast, nowhere fast.

Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you,
'Cause I wouldn't believe you if you said the same to me and
Near death, last breath, and barely hanging on.
Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?

Don't be so scared to take a second for reflection,
To take a leave of absence, see what you're made of.
So I'm selfish, and you're sorry.
When I'm gone you'll be going nowhere fast.
So who's selfish, and who's sorry?

Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you,
'Cause I wouldn't believe you if you said the same to me and
Near death, last breath, and barely hanging on.
Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?

Someone, somewhere said some things that may have sparked some sympathy, but
Don't believe, don't believe a word you've heard about me.



Don't be so scared.
It's harder for me.
Don't be so scared.
Don't be so scared,
It's harder for me.
Don't be so scared,
It's harder for me.
Don't be so scared,
It's harder for me.
Don't be so scared.

Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you,
'Cause I wouldn't believe you if you said the same to me and
Near death, last breath, and barely hanging on.
Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?

Someone, somewhere said some things that may have sparked some sympathy, but
Don't believe, don't believe a word you've heard.

Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?
'Cause I wouldn't believe you
Wouldn't believe you now

The Academy Is... Slow Down Lyrics



 


Close the door and take the stairs.
Up or down?
Ups and downs.
Don't pretend you've never been there.
You kiss me like an overdramatic actor
Who's starving for work,
With one last shot to make it happen.
You've won the role, you've played your part, you've been cordially invited.
But I'm not impressed, and I'm definitely not excited.
'Cause the film runs a shallow budget, and the writer's subject script isn't any deeper.
So dive right in...

Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,
Hey you, who are you kidding?
I'm not like them. I won't buy in.
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,
Hey you, who are you kidding?
Don't quit 'til 47.
Then we'll turn it up and we'll play a little faster.

Take back everything you ever said.
You never meant a word of it. You never did.
Take back everything you said.
You never meant a word of it. You never did.
She said

"All right, All right, slow down!"
Oh no, oh no, we won't.
'Cause I regret every thing that I said
To ever make her feel like she was something special,
Or that she ever really mattered.
Or did she ever really matter?



Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,
Hey you, who are you kidding?
I'm not like them. I won't buy in.
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,
Just don't count on this summer.
Don't quit 'til 47.
Then we'll turn it up and we'll play a little faster.

Take back everything you ever said.
You never meant a word of it. You never did.
Take back everything you said.
You never meant a word of it. You never did.

I'm not saying that I'm not breaking some hearts tonight, girl.
Oh...
I'm not saying that I'm not breaking some hearts tonight, girl.

All right, all right, slow down...

Take back everything you ever said.
You never meant a word of it. You never did.
Take back everything you said.
You never meant a word of it. You never did.

Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,
Hey you, who are you kidding?
I'm not like them (not like them).
I won't buy in (won't buy in).
(3x)

The Academy Is... The Fever Lyrics






 Lies are lies in everybody's eyes and I don't believe you
When the summer is gone it won't be long till some one's got the fever creeping inside
When the city is moving and your eyes are a moving and you just can't fight that feeling but you said it for the last time
Lies are lies in everybody's eyes and I don't believe you
Lies are lies in everybody's eyes and I don't believe you
Lies are lies in everybody's eyes and lies are lies
Can't fight it, no I just can't fight it
Can't fight it, no I just can't fight it. Now

When the summer is gone it won't be long till some ones got the fever creeping inside
When the city is moving and your eyes are a moving and you just can't stop you just can't fight it

This is the last time
Lies are lies in everybody's eyes and I don't believe you
Lies are lies in everybody's eyes and I don't believe you
Lies are lies in everybody's eyes lies are lies
Can't fight it, no I just can't fight it
Can't fight fit no I just can't

Well we all agree that we don't believe

This is the last time
Well they promised you
Now you seen the truth
This is the last time
This is the last time

And every one has got the fever
(Lies are lies) x6

Lies are lies in everybody's eyes
Lies are lies in everybody's eyes and I don't believe you
Lies are lies in everybody's eyes and I don't believe you
Lies are lies in everybody's eyes and lies are lies
Can't fight it, no I just can't fight it
Cant fight it No I just cant
Well we all agree that we don't believe
This is the last time
This is the last time
Well they promised you
Now you seen the truth
This is the last time
This is the last time
This is the last time
This is the last time
This is the last time

When the summer is gone it won't be long till someone's got the fever




The Academy Is... The Phrase That Pays Lyrics



 


My eyes can't believe what they have seen.
In the corner of your room you've stockpiled millions of my memories.
Oh Doctor, Doctor, I must have gotten this sick somehow.
I'm going to ask you a series of questions,
And I want them answered on the spot, right now.
"Is it serious?"
"I'm afraid it is."
"Am I gonna die?"
"Well son, death is gonna catch up to all one day,
But yours is coming quicker than ours, than ours."

Some things I may have taken for granted again and again,
Well here's what was said then,

"Hold your head high heavy heart.
So take a chance and make it big,
'Cause it’s the last you’ll ever get."
If we don’t take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I’ve been planning something big, planning something big, planning.

I’ve never tried to make the best of my time,
When I thought that I had plenty of it.
Is this serious?
I don’t know what to think.
Is it all a lie?
Well one thing is for sure
I'm taken back to the glory days
When we were kids without a brash or bitter thing to say.



Now my life is one big make it, or break it.

Hold your head high heavy heart
Save your strength for the morning after.
So take a chance and make it big,
'Cause it’s the last you’ll ever get.
If we don’t take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I’ve been planning something big, planning something big

So take a chance and make it big,
'Cause it’s the last you’ll ever get.
If we don’t take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I’ve been planning something big, planning something big, planning.

Hold your head high heavy heart
Save your strength for the morning after.
So take a chance and make it big,
'Cause it’s the last you’ll ever get.
If we don’t take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I’ve been planning something big, planning something big

So take a chance and make it big,
'Cause it’s the last you’ll ever get.
If we don’t take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I’ve been planning something big, planning something big, planning.





The Academy Is... We've Got A Big Mess In Our Hands Lyrics






 (ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)
(ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)

I’ve got that lefty curse
Where everything I do is flipped
And awkwardly reversed
You’re seldom known and barely missed
I always put myself
In destructive situations
I need oxygen
To be exposed where no one goes, where no one’s been
When it all comes crashing…

(ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)
Now we’ve got a big, big
Mess on our hands tonight.
Sing it (yeah)
(ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)
Now we’ve got a big, big
Mess on our hands tonight.

Somebody get my phone
So I can throw it in a public
Pool and watch it float
And as it slowly sinking down,
Become a social ghost
Inside a box, cut at the top
To let some light shine in
To remind me what I’ve done and where I’ve been
When it all comes crashing…

(ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)
Now we’ve got a big, big
Mess on our hands tonight.
Sing it (yeah)
(ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)
Now we’ve got a big, big, big, big
Mess on our hands, on our hands.

Don’t give in, don’t give up,
I’ll be gone.
You don’t look innocent enough.


We’re too young to be critics
We won’t miss anything at all
Don’t give in, don’t give up
I don’t look innocent with this big, big mess on,
I’ll say something else.

(woah)
(woah)
(woah)

(oh)

We've got a big, big mess
Oh, we've got a big, big mess
Oh, we've got a big, big mess
A big, big mess
Now we've got a big, big mess
A big, big mess
Now come on

(ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)
Now we’ve got a big, big
Mess on our hands tonight.
Sing it (yeah)
(ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)
Now we’ve got a big, big
Mess on our hands tonight.
Sing it (yeah)
(ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)
Now we’ve got a big, big, big, big
Mess on our hands, on our hands.

Don’t give in, don’t give up (we've got a big, big mess)
I’ll be gone. (a big, big mess)
I don’t look innocent enough
We’re too young to be cynics (we've got a big, big mess on our hands)
We won’t wish any harm at all
Don’t give in, don’t give up (we've got a big, big mess)
No one looks innocent with this big big mess on our hands tonight.
(a big, big mess. we've got a big, big mess on our hands)

When it all comes crashing.



The Academy Is... You Might Have Noticed Lyrics






 If you're under the impression I'm alright.
I guess you never noticed.
I guess you might have known
I've been holding this together for so long.
But I guess you might have noticed.
Well I guess you...

The beast within the burden is all mine
A product of his father, a slave to his pride.
I feel I need to reveal my true stripes,
But the bitch of all this trouble here
Waits behind the wind to find out.

You set me up to leave me,
You wanted to feel,
Shallow love, shallow lives.
Every word, you speak of what you wanted from me.
Wanted from me... Yeah

I'm sinking more and more into my lies.
Now home is just a pinprick in the vastness of my life.
Feel the pressure, feel the pleasure,
Feel the pain, you're not alone.


Feel the pleasure, feel the pain,
Feel the pain.

You set me up to leave me,
You wanted to feel,
Shallow love, shallow lives.
Every word, you speak of what you wanted from me.
Wanted from me... Yeah

Realizations, I am not what you thought I was.
You change directions everytime someone judges us.
In moderation, what was once us now never was.
You change directions everytime someone judges us.

You set me up to leave me,
You wanted to feel,
Shallow love, shallow lives.
Every word, you speak of what you wanted from me.
Wanted from me... Yeah

Realizations, I am not what you thought I was.
In moderation, what was once us now never was
