So this is what you meant, when you said that you were spent And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit right to the top Don't look back Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check I don't ever want to let you down I don't ever want to leave this town Cause after all, the city never sleeps at night It's time to begin, isn't it? I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit I'm just the same as I was Oh don't you understand? I'm never changing who I am So this is where you fell, and I am left to sell The path to heaven runs the miles of clouded hell right to the top Don't look back Turning to rags and giving the commodities a rain check I don't ever want to let you down I don't ever want to leave this town Cause after all, the city never sleeps at night It's time to begin, isn't it? I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit I'm just the same as I was Oh don't you understand? I'm never changing who I am It's time to begin, isn't it? I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit I'm just the same as I was Oh don't you understand? I'm never changing who I am This world will never look so lonely This house doesn't burn down slowly To ashes, to ashes It's time to begin, isn't it? I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit I'm just the same as I was Now don't you understand? I'm never changing who I am It's time to begin, isn't it? I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit I'm just the same as I was Don't you understand? I'm never changing who I am Don't you understand?
