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
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 all will 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
You are the ghost that I see when I close 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 can't be erased
