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
That I´m never changing who I am

So this is where you fell
And I am left to sell
The path to heaven runs through 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
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
That 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
That 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
That 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
That I´m never changing who I am
