Sky and the Other Side

I got the strength to cross the river All the lengths I've gone to deliver This one last trip will make me rich All this time, I was the snitch New verse for a different control I tried so hard to make me whole A competitive Lord would have left me to die A compassionate soul couldn't even try Sky and the other side This is the hardest I've ever tried Superstition doesn't get you far I mean, how many beats, how many bars? Drink for the thirst, drink for the hunger The Lord always left you alone to wonder Did you pass away in your sleep? Is this the longest death dream? Are you a ghost without a home? Non-corporeal and you didn't even know Say goodbye to your friends and fam Being a spectre is like being on the lam(b) Sacrificial to faith of the Holy If only you could tell me, if only, if only Cruel whim of an absent creator Still not here two thousand years later Left you up to your own devices The hurting numbed by all your vices Sky and the other side This is the hardest I've ever tried One day we all bite the dust There's an expiry date you can trust How you fill your days 'til then I can't make it like it was back then We were cannibals on the road Eating ourselves to make ourselves whole I can laugh about it all now When I was knee-deep in it, I didn't know how Yes, I regret how I treated you so callous It was out of jealousy, never out of malice But the product was the same, I was to blame For the shame you felt, and it was never the same You and I don't speak anymore But the Lord's still haunting both our doors It's the price we pay for hypocrisy And if it damns us both, I guess we'll see Sky and the other side This is the hardest I've ever tried
