Empire In My Mind Lyrics - The Wallflowers

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, through 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 try 

To believe I have something good inside 

All the barricades, I climb for the empire in my mind

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

I have known love, somewhere in time 

I've been lifted up, I've looked honor in the eyes 

I have no reason, I have no rhyme 

I cannot deny there's a darkness that's inside 

I am guilty by design and now I realize 

The temptations made me blind to the empire in my mind 

There is no order, there is chaos and there is crime 

There is no one home tonight in the empire of my mind 

Photos 

There is no distance that I don't see 

I do have a world, no limit to my reach 

I wish, I would, I wish, I might 

To see a line tonight, separating wrong from right 

As I am 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
