He only sees what he wants   It serves to fool and distract him   While slowly everything's haunted, cursed and stained      His temple that was his home   Showed itself as mere cold stone   To finally feel all alone is horribly purifying      [CHORUS:]    And it's doubt that fills my head   Dreadful doubt dripping in dread      Leave me to live in my own world   I've had enough of yours   Follow the program and make plans   To become self-assured   Didn't end up the golden champion   Ended up on the floor      [CHORUS]      [CHORUS]      Paid all the dues I could afford   But what was due me got lost   Found I had gained some small respect   But I get little more   They say if at first you don't succeed   Leave well enough alone   Could never live just for the dollar   'Cause life is only unknown
