Chop Chop - The Academy Is...

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.

Santi.
