Out Of The Water

Lydia Kaseta's second single "The Other Side" off her forthcoming 'Hate The Day' EP will be released December 2nd 2021. Presave here: https://www.streamtheotherside.com/

“The Other Side” is an anthem of empowerment for anybody who has dimmed their own light to make somebody else appear brighter. It’s my second new single, an acoustic ballad taken from my ’Hate The Day’ EP. I want this to encourage people to confront the selfish ones in their past who didn’t want you to be your true self.

Lyrics:
I was waiting for the right time to tell you
Knowing that time would never arrive
They say that it’s easier said than done
But here that doesn’t apply

I was trying to find the right words to write down
Knowing words could never explain
It’s true that I do want you here
But I don’t think you should stay

I’m only human
I needed your touch
I’m only human
I want to be love

I was hoping that my fingers would whisper
As they paced between your shoulders and nape
They say that actions speak louder than words
But here that isn’t the case

As we’re lying in bed i feel heartless
All the words that I wrote have escaped
Then you look at me like I’m born to be seen
And I just look away

I’m only human
I needed your touch
I’m only human
I want to be loved
But it’s never enough

I was waiting for the right time to tell you
Knowing that time would never arrive

Only Human

You & I

The Art Of Letting You Go

I woke up bleeding from a dream I can’t recall
The sky was black, the mirror cracked, the writing on the wall
I’ve buried friends, I’ve buried faith, I’ve buried every prayer
And still I walk, though every step feels like a dare
God wants me dead
That’s what the silence said
Not in fire, not in flood
Just slow enough to taste the blood
God wants me dead
But I ain’t gone yet
I’ve cursed the stars, I’ve kissed the ground
I’ve begged for peace that won’t be found
My body breaks, my mind betrays
But I still show up most days
The preacher said I’m not alone
But he don’t hear the undertone
Of every breath I drag through pain
Like thunder with no rain
God wants me dead
That’s what the silence said
Not in fire, not in flood
Just slow enough to taste the blood
God wants me dead
But I ain’t gone yet
Maybe He don’t hate me
Maybe He just waits
To see if I’ll keep walking
Through these rusted gates
Maybe love’s a test
And pain’s the proof
That I’m still here
And still got truth
I saw a child smile at me today
And for a second, I looked away
Afraid that light might burn my skin
But maybe that’s where grace begins
I ain’t asking for a crown
Just a reason not to lay it down
If He’s still watching, let Him see
What broken still can be
God wants me dead
That’s what the silence said
Not in fire, not in flood
Just slow enough to taste the blood
If He wants me gone
He’ll have to take me walking   


FYI: God saw me write this and did not stop me....songwriter Edwin H. Balder
