Academy Is..., The - In Our Defense Lyrics
Forced to the wall,
the crosshairs shift from this tied down burden: Courage.
What did you expect?
A nightmare of reason and faith alike.
Because you take shots, my back's turned, you're gutless.
But I'll tell you what (I‘ll tell you what)
As far as you're concerned the next breath that you take should be underwater.
You're worthless. You've been told once before.
This time you're gonna get back a little more than you paid for.
Forced to the wall the record skips and this satellite sense is detecting.
You run for cover. A nightmare, a vision, a quota, a reason.
You take shots, my back's turned, you're gutless.
You think you're saving face but first things first,
Is taken in weakness and vain.
Place your bets, it's a matter of context.
You said it, you mean it, you want it, you've got it.
I've been waiting far too long for this.
You take shots, my back's turned, you're gutless, and you've got no spine at all.
I've been waiting. Take your shot and be on your way.
Spill fiction while my back is turned, when you've got an easy target.
Build stregth, and your heart is gone.
You tell my back that you're more courageous.
We've got our souls held in this dark hotel room.
You're taking chances for the worst and the worst is yet to come.
Place your bets, it's a matter of…
You said it, you mean it, you want it, you've got it.
I've been waiting far too long for…
Show a litte backbone.
In this hole we've dug, you're never crawling out alive.
You won't make it too far, you won't get too far.
In this home we've made, you're never welcome again.
You wont make it too far.
Place your bets son, pay your ransom.
You don't know what it is to regret.

This Is Their Best Shit By Far, Waaaayyyy Better Than Santi
This brings back so many memories of local shows!!!
Bill and Adam went to my high school, it's not very good, but it really is pretty awesome compared to what most 16 year olds and 18 year olds are putting out!
"not very good"? Are you joking, this is a million times more technical and emotive than their pop stuff.
bill is so hot on that picture
honestly ive enjoyed almost here more, but i do like santi a lot
when i say heavier, i mean they had a lot of punk and almost thrasher style to their music. it was grity and ruff. now its very sweet and popy.
i can respect that. i just wish they would have went the heavier path is all.
please say ur a girl
im not givin you shit but i like their old stuff better. its a little harder compared to the overly popish FTABH.
yea dude i am, but lame ass people on youtube take afence to that, and post poor comments on what i wrote. thats sad, but who cares the truth is what counts, and im reall happy for him, hes doing wat he loves, anywayz peace out and positive vibes
ya when this song was written it was just the academy their old stuff is still better than now
yer not gonna
lolololololol. his name is "the butcher"... well, it's really andy mrotek, but no one calls him that. i don't think anyone really knows why he doesn't like wearing clothes but it probably has to do with all of his tattoos and taking pride in them and wanting to show them off. Or, he's just a dude who doesn't like having his shirt on.
i love their songs way back before... lol..
this is so good. yeah.
Whats with the silence?
Which songs do you play along to?
this song is so fun to play on the drums.
