Other Side of the World

Turning away from the light
changing from day to night
Where the dark will take you
Isn't it gravely beautiful?

Run fast and far
Escape from the scars
Leave nothing but everything behind

It's not right to stay here
But it seems so wrong to leave
Promise not to turn around
Don't try to head back home
The other side of the world is safer
The other side of the world

Run as fast as the land is long
Hurry before the time wears thin
Is this what fate sets forth?
A life of loneliness and disregard
Just keep on running
Keep running far

It's not right to stay here
But it seems so wrong to leave
Promise not to turn around
Don't try to head back home
The other side of the world is safer
The other side of the world

Taken deeper
Pushing down
Push towards it now
Heavenly burden
Heavily hurting
Take the time to cry now

It's not right to stay here
But it seems so wrong to leave
Promise not to turn around
Don't try to head back home
The other side of the world is safer
The other side of the world
