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 hold 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

This 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

Now 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 [bad word] through miles of clouded [bad word] 
Right to the top

Don't look back

Turning to rags and giving [bad word] a rain check

I don't ever want to let you down

I don't ever want to leave this town

'Cause after all

This 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

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

Now don't you understand

I'm never changing who I am

This road never looked 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

Now don't you understand

I'm never changing who I am
