I've built a union of defeat
To the guard the falling of my dreams
And you can take it all away
But there's so little left to seize
I try my best to overcome
I must have tried a million times
So much is standing in my way
It holds my hand while I decline

What's gotten into me?
This was everything I had wanted but now I'm alone and angry
And if you still care for me
You were everything I had lived for but now I'm afraid and lonely

I sit alone and contemplate
All the parameters of truth
I wonder why they're not so clear
They were so striking in my youth
My empire crashing to the floor
I've always felt a bit condemned
I'm lying naked in details

Being exposed for what I am

What's gotten into me?
This was everything I had wanted but now I'm alone and angry
And if you still care for me
You were everything I had lived for but now I'm afraid and lonely

I've built a union of defeat
To the guard the falling of my dreams
And you can take it all away
But there's so little left to seize
I feel the minutes counting down
When I can kiss goodbye the past
What I portray as eminence
We surely know is my collapse

What's gotten into me?
This was everything I had wanted but now I'm alone and angry
And if you still care for me
You were everything I had lived for but now I'm afraid and lonely
