About A Girl With a Heart (Madame Dutchess Mashup) - The Academy Is... vs. Illenium

The Academy Is... 'LAX To O'Hare' from the album Santi available on Fueled By Ramen.

It was a plane ride from LAX to O'Hare,
and what happened next was a series of unfortunate events.
(Please stay tuned for what happened next...)
The life I breathe for you gives to me new wounds
Well to patch and dress as I reflect on what else I could give you.

Maybe I should blindly throw my faith
into the next thing that comes my way
Standing at the back door with the life that she left behind.
Are we all the same behind the frame
Beneath the glass and fake last names?
I've been waiting far too long to feel the sun on my back.

It was a big bang
and a bright white light from no where.
It turned my coach class window to
A first class seat on the evening news, on NBC.
The life I gave for you is yours
So keep it, you oughtta keep it.
If I had one last chance to take it all back
You know I'd take take take you.

Maybe I should blindly throw my faith
Into the next thing that comes my way.
Standing at the back door with the life that she left behind.
Are we all the same behind the frame
between the glass and fake last names?
I've been waiting far too long to feel the sun on my back.

"Apologies are all we'll ever be," she said.
Standing on the stairs
Looking back, looking hard at me.
"Well, life is long for those who have to wait," I said.
The choice I had to make.
The choice I had to make.
The choice I had to...
(Make)

It was a plane ride. (plane ride)
It was a plane ride. (plane ride)
It was a plane ride.
Just a plane...

Maybe I should blindly throw my faith
Into the next thing that comes my way.
Standing at the back door with the life that I'd left behind.
If we know the way we're gonna die
Through everything else we will survive.
I've been waiting far too long to feel the sun on my back-
Yeah

But one day,
I will stay.

LYRICS
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 than ours, than 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.

The Academy Is...: The Phrase That Pays

In the Mirror (Sorry)

🔻 Lyrics

Verse 1:
Voodoo—it's all you do
No charm, no shame
Just a blacked-out truth
Your house of cards, now falling through
Afraid to catch your own eye
Denied, denied, denied
Corrupted mind—no patch in sight
Lost call, lost soul
It's all on you now

Chorus:
I sink down, don't speak up now
Judge this thought, it's all I got
Voices ring but none are loud
Drown this heart, it's turning rot
Sink down under—blame my name
This curse is all I've got
(Sink... sink... sink...)
(Echo: Sink down, sink down...)

Verse 2:
I tried—fuck it
I cried—fuck it
Was sad—fuck it
Was mad—fuck it
I'm glad it's not you I have
Dollars stacked, still not worth the cause
Loops play on, sick repeat
Deleting thoughts like files on heat
Drag and drop—deny and lie

Chorus:
I sink down, don't speak up now
Judge this thought, it's all I got
Voices ring but none are loud
Drown this heart, it's turning rot
Sink down under—blame my name
This curse is all I've got
(Sink... sink... sink...)
(Build: Voices fading, sink...)

Bridge 1:
Waited so long just to see this die
Mind on tour, no rest at night
Pounding chest, no breath left
Just echoes screaming, dreams collapse

Bridge 2:
I don't have our memories anymore
Self-made drip—did the trick
At-home kit, quick snip
Brain wiped, now I'm new—who are you?

Verse 3:
You saw me fall, and waved
Saw my pain, and moved on
Saw my hand, and let it fade
Alone, circling the sink
Begging this drain to drink me
Drugs and sex a way to release

Bridge 3:
People want to talk to fame
Cribs be crazy
Drenched in filth and rich—going once, going twice—your soul is sold, hope he's nice!
Pretend, depend, hang on him
Split spread and bread—was that the plan?
That's how you jam? That's your scam?

Breakdown:
Act layered, but you got nothin' to pull back
Your deep throat tricks: “Look what I can do” and filler tracks
Vocabulary locked on "Brova"— “I know… right”?
Your whole act? Get a mirror, reflect back
Silver spoons and elite waste
Entry-level lies in a plastic case
Sliding doors, fake grace—wide enough to hide a whole damn face
Another bad lay, he tried to pay
Packed nose, benzos—ask him, he knows

Verse 4:
No pact, no chain, no holy name
Just me, a beast, off-leash, untamed
You stitched a wound just to twist the thread
Smiled wide—while I bled in bed
Look at you—wrapped in plastic
Watch me rise while your life folds
My scars? They talk louder than yours
My pain? It kicks down closed doors

Final Chorus:
I sink down—no, I rise now
Carved from pain, I wear the crown
You thought I'd fold, thought I'd drown
But I built a throne from battlegrounds
Sink down? Not anymore
This war? I'm walking out the door
(Rise... rise... rise...)


Outro:
Sink down no more... rise and walk away
