There are walls before me There are walls all around me And walls that keep me safe There are secrets, and strategies hide-outs and ciphers snakes and snipers and tales that make me brave There are secret doorways with secret codes no one seems to know I've got borders and spies I've got x-ray eyes and signs that lie and tests that everyone must satisfy I want to feel the love I want to take a chance walk tall in the sun and live a life of romance But I can't be sure If s** is an addiction And faith is an affliction and love is stranger than... love is stranger than... Love is stranger than fiction There are parapets and batteries, bridges and motes, mythology, biology and scanners and ghosts there's poison and prophesy and riddles that everyone must answer by rote I want to feel the love, sing songs in the rain I want to look in your eyes and know you feel the same But I can't be sure' If hope is just illusion and ego is delusion, this life is strange confusion 'cause love is stranger than fiction I'd learn Morse code I'd send smoke to the sky I'd take your word as gospel And never ask why I'd hang my hair from the window leave crumbs in the dust I'd taste a poison apple if I knew I could trust that you'd touch my heart and set me free kiss my eyes, lift this blindness from me can you... save me'? Can you save'me...? I've got protocols and firewalls, scripture and verse I'm sheltered from sin but it only gets worse Protected from the world so nothing gets in no sign of life, no hope from within I want to feel the love but I can't take the pain I want to hide from the son and not have to explain 'cause I'll never be sure that s** is an addiction and faith is an affliction 'cause love is stranger than... love is stranger than... Love is stranger than fiction love is stranger than- love is stranger than- Love is stranger than fiction'
