The Academy Is...

The Academy Is... was an American rock band from Chicago, Illinois, formed in 2003. Before disbanding, they were signed by the Decaydance imprint of the Fueled by Ramen label. They were originally known as "The Academy", but added the "Is..." in 2004 to avoid legal complications with other established bands already under that name. As of 2010[update], the band has released three studio albums, Almost Here, Santi, and Fast Times at Barrington High, and four EPs. On 8 October 2011, the band announced they would go their separate ways. more »

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

Always up or down, never down and out
Dream of demons while you sleep 
That make you stutter when you speak
Always up or down, never down and out
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
Dream of demons while you sleep 
That make you stutter when you speak
Always up or down, never down and out
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
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 entrees 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
Dream of demons while you sleep 
That make you stutter when you speak (stutter when you speak)
Always up or down, never down and out
Dream of demons while you sleep 
That make you stutter when you speak (never down)

Always up or down, never down and out
Dream of demons while you sleep 
That make you stutter when you speak (never down)
Always up or down, never down and out
Dream of demons while you sleep 
That make you stutter when you speak
Speak now or forever hold your peace in pieces
