Empire In My Mind

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
 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
 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
