The Last Mistake

I haven’t seen you in so long

And I think that's wrong

And I think that's wrong

This problem needs to be addressed

It's really for the best

It's really for the best

We'll be a family again

No one to steal you from my grasp

They'll bury you right next to me

We'll be together at long last

If I can't have you, then nobody can

I hope you understand

I hope you understand

I have your interests in my heart

Never to be apart

Never to be apart

We'll be a family again

No one to steal you from my grasp

They'll bury you right next to me

We'll be together at long last

The last mistake you ever made

Was trusting me

Was trusting me

Now close your eyes, my precious child

And I will set you free

I will set you free

We'll be a family again

No one to steal you from my grasp

They'll bury you right next to me

We'll be together at long last

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
