Scott Litt - World Leader Pretend lyrics

[Verse 1] I sit at my table and wage war on myself It seems like it's all, it's all for nothing I know the barricades And I know the mortar in the wall breaks I recognise the weapons, I've used them well This is my mistake Let me make it good I raised the wall And I will be the one to knock it down I've a rich understanding of my finest defences I proclaim that claims are left unstated I demand a rematch [Bridge] I decree a stalemate I divine my deeper motives I recognise the weapons I've practised them well I fitted them myself [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] Reach out for me Hold me tight Hold that memory Let my machine talk to me Let my machine talk to me [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] You fill in the mortar You fill in the harmony You fill in the mortar I raised the wall And I'm the only one I will be the one to knock it down
