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 wanna let you down.
I don't ever wanna leave this town.
Cause after all,
this city never sleeps at night.
CHORUS
It's time to begin, isnt 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.
Verse 2
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 wanna let you down.
I don't ever wanna leave this town.
Cause after all,
this city never sleeps at night.
CHORUS
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!
CHORUS
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.

Now don't you understand?/I'm not changing who I am
This song is brilliant for a 30-second commercial, but at four minutes, it becomes tediously repetitive. A theme for venturing out into the world but staying true to and proud of yourself, its message is uplifting but the heavy-handed, monotonous and compressed production dulls.
