Assemblage 23 - The Other side of the Wall

A crippling anxiety
A chasm between you and me
That I wish wasn’t there

There are things that I would like to say to you
I’m so afraid you’d disapprove
If you would even care

You’re on the other side of the wall from me
But I can hear you crying
I’m on the other side of the wall from you
And a piece of me is dying

Sometimes it all seems well within my reach
If only I could dare to breach
The barriers that stand

But then I start to doubt instead
Perhaps it’s all just in my head
And my will dissolves like sand

You’re on the other side of the wall from me
But I can hear you crying
I’m on the other side of the wall from you
And a piece of me is dying

To wish for things impossible
Against the insurmountable
May seem a dream for fools

But drowning in uncertainty
For countless more eternities
Is equally as cruel

You’re on the other side of the wall from me
But I can hear you crying
I’m on the other side of the wall from you
And a piece of me is dying
