The Other Side of the Wall

The Other Side of the Wall (墙的另一边) - Assemblage 23

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

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
