The Other Side<\/p>\n
I felt like the walls were closing in.
\nHow the hell did all this begin?
\nI have to break through to the other side.
\nThen, I have to find a place to hide.
\nIt is dark. I have to break through to light.
\nI will try with all my might.<\/p>\n
You can run and you can hide.
\nIt won\u2019t help because you know he lied.
\nBut, you will know at least you tried.
\nYou have to break through to the other side.<\/p>\n
It happened on that horrible day.
\nThat day that I tried to run away.
\nHe had me, there was no escape.
\nWhat he did was worse than rape.
\nMust break away to the other side.
\nIt\u2019s the only way to save my hide.<\/p>\n
You can run and you can hide.
\nIt won\u2019t help because you know he lied.
\nBut, you will know at least you tried.
\nYou have to break through to the other side.<\/p>\n
They say I had a psychotic break.
\nThey say it was more than I can take.
\nYou needed a way to get away.
\nYour mind escaped the easy way.
\nA mind excursion, what a ride.
\nI finally broke through to the other side.<\/p>\n
