I built this world
Then I ripped it to pieces
What has been learned
At changing of the seasons
I stand in the stream
And watch it run
Forever curving
Around the sun
We built this world
Now you're just looking out for number one
They say I've lost control
They say my mind's been altered
Of all the lives I've loathed
Mine is nothing like my fathers
You had someone
Then you set them straight
You don't want me to go
You don't want me to stay
We built this world
Then you threw it all away
Go back and get some rest my friend
You know that I just can't sleep at all
You need some time to clear your head
How do you stop a cannon ball
We'll hide our secrets until the end
Now that's just such a heartless call
Meeting you was my downfall
