The Academy Is... Skeptics and True Believers

Don't be so scared,
we will not lead you on like you've been doing for weeks.
So you're selfish, and I'm sorry.
When I'm gone you'll be going nowhere fast.
Nowhere fast. Nowhere fast.

Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?
'Cause I wouldn't believe you if you said the same to me.
Near death, last breath, and barely hanging on.
Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?

Don't be so scared to take a second for reflection,
to take a leave of absence, see what you're made of.
So I'm selfish and you're sorry?
When I'm gone you'll be going nowhere fast.
So who's selfish and who's sorry?

Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?
'Cause I wouldn't believe you if you said the same to me.
Near death, last breath, and barely hanging on.
Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?

Someone, somewhere said somethings that may have sparked some sympathy,
but don't believe. Don't believe a word you've heard about me.

Don't be so scared, it's harder for me. Don't be so scared.
Don't be so scared, it's harder for me.
Don't be so scared, it's harder for me.
Don't be so scared, it's harder for me. Don't be so scared.

Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?
'Cause I wouldn't believe you if you said the same to me.
Near death, last breath, and barely hanging on.
Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?

Someone, somewhere said somethings that may have sparked some sympathy,
but don't believe. Don't believe a word you've heard.

Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?
Cause I wouldn't believe you, wouldn't believe you now.
