The phrase that pays


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 then ours, then 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.

Biografia

The Academy Is... were an American alternative rock/emo-pop band from Barrington, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. Formed in 2003, the band initially used the name "The Academy", but in 2004 they added the suffix "Is...". to avoid legal disputes with other musical groups using the same name. The original lineup consisted of William Beckett (vocals), Andy Mrotek (guitar), Adam Siska (bass) and Mike Carden (drums). 2005 saw the release of their debut album, "Almost Here", followed by "Santi" in 2007. The group is known for its energetic and melodic sound, influenced by emo rock and pop punk. Some of their most representative songs include "The Phrase That Pays", "Slow Down", and "Heartbeat". The Academy Is... announced their disbandment in 2011, but reunited to perform at the Riot Fest in Chicago in 2015.
