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
