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 »

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 dressed 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,
Thinking about you and I.

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
Its only a matter of time
Cheap champagne and a complicated lifestyle
It's only a matter of time.
