Things aren't quite as they seem

Inside my domain

You can't know about everything
Only pleasure and pain

You wonder why I come here

With head to my hands

Where else can I be cured
And the king of your mansion
A thorn in your side

A child to protect
That claims he's free

Just around the corner

Half a mile to heaven

Strong enough to hold you
Starved for some affection

Darling, come quickly

Come ease my mind

For my prayers have not been answered
In a long time

I've already made my bed
Like it or not

As long as there's no regrets
I'll be here when the ride stops
These comforts to me

And these crosses to bear

With which we live
Just around the corner
Half a mile to heaven
Strong enough to hold you
Starved for some affection
Baby, I can't drag you into this mess
I'm the thorn in your side
And the child to protect
And I'm just around the corner
Half a mile to heaven, oh
Oh, Strong enough to hold you
Starved for some affection
Darling, come quickly
Come ease my worried mind
For my prayers have not been answered
In a long time
In a long time

If I laid down my love to come to your defense
Would you worry for me with a pain in your chest?
Could I rely on your faith to be strong
To pick me back up and to push me along?
Tell me:
You'll be there in my hour of need
You won't turn me away
Help me out of the life I lead
Remember the promise you made
Remember the promise you made:
If I gave you my soul for a piece of your mind
Would you carry me with you to the far edge of time?
Could you understand if you found me untrue
Would we become one, or divided in two
Please tell me:
You'll be there in my hour of need
You won't turn me away
Help me out of the life I lead
Remember the promise you made
Remember the promise you made
Could I rely on your faith to be strong
To pick me back up and to push me along
Please tell me
You'll be there in my hour of need
You won't turn me away
Help me out of the life I lead
Remember the promise you made
Remember the promise you made
Remember the promise you made
Remember the promise you made (...)

My excuse is only human
Like any animal that breathes
Just to find a scent that's soothing
I give you power over me

I'm more weak than strong
And not a stranger to a fall
But I won't leave you
Till I turn to find you gone
I'm the biggest fool of all

There's no path of least resistance
It's a fable that you've heard
Any love that lacks conviction
Is gonna grovel in the dirt
God this road is long
And surrounded by a wall
But I won't leave you
'Til I turn to find you gone
I'm the biggest fool of all

Foolish as the prisoner
That listens for the jangling keys
And smart enough to know
That it's crazy I should run
When you've got no claim on me

So before your panic taunts you
To make relations disappear
You could help to ease my conscience
If just for once by standing here
I'm more weak than strong
And surrounded by a wall
But I won't leave you
'Til I turn to find you gone
I'm the biggest fool of all

Not without reason have i been wrong
Just a few tough demands
On a personal friend i could lean on
Desperate and selfish, i know that i was
We drank all our fill
But i'd swear there was poison in my cup
Of your good intentions what has become
I thought you were on my side
Must you add the weight
You said it would be even
When splitting up the stakes
I thought you were on my side
Were we not the rage
Down the center line
What's yours is yours and mine
Just like always
Hurting for freedom, hell-bent for lust
It's an unlikely thing that i'd be bumping in
To someone i could trust
I'm far from resigning
Though i'm faint from exhaust
Just because i'm on edge
Do i have to let somebody come push me off
Is it the belonging, or something you've lost
I thought you were on my side
Must you add the weight
You said it would be even
When splitting up the stakes
I thought you were on my side
Were we not the rage
Down the center line
What's yours is yours and mine
Just like always
