Sure, I have dreams,
Like any other other man
I want to find love
I want to have children
I want to be rich
I want to rule the world
Who wouldn't?

But sometimes I wonder
If it is all worth it
And perhaps it is not
For the only misery
Worse than that of failure
Is the suffering of success

So perhaps I self-sabotage
Because I fear victory
The way most fear defeat
And so I am condemned to fail
But I wouldn't want it any other way.
