Wallflowers - Empire In My Mind lyrics

There is trouble in my mind

There is dark

There is dark and there is light

Lay your hands over my eyes

As I look deep

Trough valleys deep and wide

Across the borderline

For the empire in my mind

You are the reason I don't sleep

You are the light

That's breaking through the leaves

And you know how hard I tried

To believe

I have something good inside

Over barricades I climb

For the empire in my mind

I have known love somewhere in time

I've been lifted up

I look honor in the eyes

I have no reason, I have no rhyme

I cannot deny

There's a darkness that's inside

I'm guilty by design

And now I realise

That temptations made me blind

To the empire in my mind

There is no order

And there is chaos

And there is crime

There is no one home tonight

in the empire of my mind

There is no distance that I don't see

I do have a will

No limit to my reach

I wish I would

I wish I might

To see a line tonight

Seperating wrong from right

Some are only born to try

And maybe that's the reason why

I'm afraid someday I 'll find

There is no empire in my mind
