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
