Let me make it goodI raised the wall, and I will be the one to knock it downI've a rich understanding of my finest defensesI proclaim that claims are left unstated,I demand a rematchI decree a stalemateI divine my deeper motivesI recognize the weaponsI've practiced them well. I fitted them myselfIt's amazing what devices you can sympathize...empathizeThis is my mistake. Let me make it goodI raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it downReach out for me and hold me tight. Hold that memoryLet my machine talk to me. Let my machine talk to meThis is my worldAnd I am the world leader pretendThis is my lifeAnd this is my timeI have been given the freedomTo do as I see fitIt's high time I've razed the wallsThat I've constructedIt's amazing what devices you can sympathize...emapathizeThis is my mistake. Let me make it goodI raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it downYou fill in the mortar. You fill in the harmonyYou fill in the mortar. I raised the wallsAnd I'm the only oneI will be the one to knock it down
