The Other Side of Me
Here where I am seen as sane, my life in perfect form
The other side is breaking free, my darkness to be born
This battle for my sanity began in life before
The person who I am right now, verus the one I was before
I've had many conversations with the other side of me
Like "if I let you out right now, would you take over, eternally"?
Thunderstorms and lightening, black clouds and falling rain,
Altered state of vision, tainted love with pure felt pain.
To the edge of my reality and the brink of staying sane,
This inner war is raging, things will never be the same.
Soon this will no longer be my call, a decision will be taken
Whether into light or into dark, my soul be saved, or be forsaken
As the voice gets even stronger, in this battle fought within
I hear my dark side calling "open up and let me in"
