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,
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
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
So this is where you fell, and I am left to sell
the path that heaven runs through miles of clouded hell,
right to the top
Turning to rags and give 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
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
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
