See You On The Other Side

Wait

Don't walk away from me

No it doesn't have to be the way you think

Can I change your mind?

Say

Whatever you have to say

It's the subtle break as you hesitate

But the words slip out

I'll see you on the other side

I'll see you on the other side

We turned our eyes before your words were done

As the shadows make their way

As the grey clouds swallowed up the setting sun

And the shadows that remain

We, like statues, just can't walk away

There's no calming words so be assured we will all be erased

Suddenly we stand in the silence of this moment

And the fear is rushing in

Nowhere to begin, no way to forget him

Yesterday was here now he's disappeared

Never was a man so inviting

With light and love my broken heart can't obscure it

The perfect, holy one has abandoned the plan

And we're the only ones left to manage

All the damage that was done

Carefully killing this hope that I feel inside, inside

You are the ghost that I see when I close my eyes, my eyes

They silence the voices that tear down the frames

Built by the ones we once trusted

The friends that we bled with now strangers became

You've set sail and there's no return

The wind carries away

The seeds that we've sown are dead

Into the grave

We've buried ourselves

But all of your words will not be erased
