Lyrics

On the other side of life there is a darkness I understand

And it touches me

All I see and all I feel, everything I comprehend

Is filtered through to me

Changing facts, distorted truth disrupting my serenity

What is real?

Terrorizing sense of fate playing with reality

What isn’ t real?

Standing in a cloud a darkness

I hear your voice call out to me

It brings me back among the living

The things you do for me, the things you do for me

All around me sense of doom, surrounded by it from all sides

The end is near

I realize the future’ s dead and the past is so alive

It’ s just beginning

Standing in a place of wonder

I see you standing next to me

To fend off enemies and horror

The things you do for me, the things you do for me

My hands are tied, my fate’ s completely in your hands

What can I do, I’ ve got to make you understand

That I don’ t want to live in a world without you

The fact’s that I could never survive without you

Lost in strange familiar awe of what is happening to me

This horrid change

I feel the tethers pull me tight as I am ripped back helplessly

This is strange

As I open up my eyes

I see you lying next to me

I get up and see that you’ ve made coffee

The things you do for me, the things you do for me
