lyrics

I looked across
the divide
And I found
the otherside

And I told a lie
I told you a lie
I told you a lie
I told you a lie
I told you a lie

I knew that I had tried
And I saw that I was blind
And I knew that I had to try to find
What was on the other side
On the other side
On the other side
On the other side

I knew that I had to try to find
what was on the other side
on the other side
And I knew that I had become blind
to what I would find
what I would find
I knew that I had to try to find
what was on the other side
on the other side
And I knew that I had become blind
to what I would find
what I would find

I can sadly only choose between anything and dragon eyes for my favorite track, but then I realized it probably is anything. The rest of the album and its instrumental sister album are both amazing and imo her best release thus far. 9/10 angrypizza98

I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful. David McCullough
