The future holds a blinding grief A day that shatters all belief Stripped of fire and lustful thought Midnight dreams, burned to naught A day when I no longer care Have nothing left to give, or share When your fire no longer burns When my heart no longer yearns Creeping like a deadly bane A poison seeping through my brain Bringing light to weary eyes Stripping bear the thin disguise When at last I choose to see All the reasons assaulting me A jolt to wake the sleeping lamb A day to remember who I am One day my heart will cease to crave Will lay the passion to the grave Time, a salve to help me heal My soul will learn again to feel So many years, I gave to waste A decade that I can't replace Loving you, my greatest sin I should have known from where I've been So close now, I see the signs My heart has read between the lines There's nothing left of you in me No reason I cannot break free The day of reckoning, is at my door Dark clouds gather on the shore A storm that rips you from my soul And leaves behind a gaping hole I'll hold my breath until tomorrow The clouds will pass, as will the sorrow And with the sun and cleansing tide My rainbow waits, the other side

The Other Side
The future holds a blinding grief A day that shatters all belief Stripped of fire and lustful thought Midnight dreams, burned to naught A day when I no longer care Have nothing left to give, or share When your fire no longer burns When my heart no longer yearns Creeping like a deadly bane A poison seeping through my brain Bringing light to weary eyes Stripping bear the thin disguise When at last I choose to see All the reasons assaulting me A jolt to wake the sleeping lamb A day to remember who I am One day my heart will cease to crave Will lay the passion to the grave Time, a salve to help me heal My soul will learn again to feel So many years, I gave to waste A decade that I can't replace Loving you, my greatest sin I should have known from where I've been So close now, I see the signs My heart has read between the lines There's nothing left of you in me No reason I cannot break free The day of reckoning, is at my door Dark clouds gather on the shore A storm that rips you from my soul And leaves behind a gaping hole I'll hold my breath until tomorrow The clouds will pass, as will the sorrow And with the sun and cleansing tide My rainbow waits, the other side
