Lyrics The Academy Is...

The Academy Is...

Chop Chop

I've got myself to blame for this

I've tried 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

Still I'm not asking much of me

And you're ignoring the matter...

You'll shut me up and bleed me dry

Cheap champagne and a complicated lifestyle

If nothing else matters, then

I will die trying

Thinking about you and I

Three years on Friday since we met

You felt that existential kiss upon your neck

How could we forget that?

Still I'm through acting like this feels right

And that nothing else matters

You'll shut me up and bleed me dry

Cheap champagne and a complicated lifestyle

If nothing else matters, then

I will die trying

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

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
