The Other Side Lyrics

Comin home

Long day ahead

Pick up the bottle

Drink till you're dead

Empty cradle

Emptier bed

Knowing that she'll never be there again

A forced non decision

The ramification

Leaves him dead inside

Dying in agony

Screaming in pain

Cut open exposed to the world

Choked till you can't breathe

Nothing cleans the stains

Writhing in hurt on the floor

He takes another swig from the bottle

Loads the chamber and checks the sights

All he can taste is the gunpowder metal

One click and he's with them on the other side

Morning sickness

No comfort there

Pack up for school and

Prepare for the stares

"What a lowlife

What a whore"

Sitting right next to

The villain at your door

A forced non decision

The ramifications

The taking away of her choice

Take off your clothes

Get used to the pain

Naked exposed to the world

Choked till you can't breathe

Nothing cleans the stains

Writhing in hurt on the floor

She tries to find a home that could love her

She tries to do everything that they deem right

They told her that it would only cost her her life

And that she'd see her baby on the other side

A loving family

Maybe they're poor

All unaware of

The death at their door

The smell of blood

Haunts them at night

They lost a child

So you can keep your rights

A natural disaster

Reduced to a whisper

After a couple of bribes

Thoughts and prayers

Aren't enough

Don't be afraid of the fight

Use your voice

Use your life

You have the courage to bring us toward the light

We don't have to run for cover

We don't have to hide from the world

They turn the clock back

And we turn it forwards

We are in the fight of our life

Let's move the country

To the other side
