I've a rich understanding of my finest defences I proclaim that claims are left unstated I demand a rematch
I decree a stalemate I divine my deeper motives I recognise the weapons I've practised them well I fitted them myself
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize Empathise This is my mistake, let me make it good I raised the wall And I will be the one to knock it down
Reach out for me Hold me tight Hold that memory Let my machine talk to me Let my machine talk to me
This is my world,and I am the World Leader Pretend This is my life, and this is my time I have been given the freedom to do as I see fit It's high time I razed the walls that I've constructed
