Take me to the other side
I saw your ghost in the corner of the room
I think I opened up to you too soon
I kept your pillow case for them long nights alone
Your scent reminds me that my soul has a home
So close but so far
I dream you carried me into the night
Across this reality and to the other side
So close but so far
Take me
Into the depths of your mystery
Take me
At any place, at any time
Take me
To the other side
I heard your steps up the wooden staircase
I turned around and thought I saw you
Though there was no one there
I feel comfort after the times that I’m scared
You put out the candles to let me know you’re here
I may be losing my mind trying to find
Closure in your departure
I may be lost without you around
I’ll blow a kiss into the darkness
And ask the wind if you can carry a kiss back

The author encourages honest critique.
The one critique I've got here, is that the title is an obvious likeness to RHCP's "Otherside" lyrics. Nothing inherently wrong with it itself, but readers who are avid music listeners will certainly form an unintentional connection ;)
This is less "weird" than much of your other stuff, which is nice, although I love the flow of weirdness.
It's like when a band typically has a really unusual style, and consistently surprises, but releases an album full of experimental pieces, and somehow track #11 is a sweet ballad that takes you back... And at first you might not appreciate it because the normalcy, it's jarring. Then, you re-listen, and you melt into the song and it's brilliant simplicity. And you evaluate what quality music is; it's not constant variability and new ground all of the time. And you think of vanilla bean...And how vanilla gets a bad rap for being usual. And how there is a lot of synthetic vanilla around, but how truly refreshing authentic and sweet things are with REAL vanilla, and how that light flavor is exceptionally valuable in itself...and the ability to execute something with real vanilla notes well. Maybe it's more precious than strange flavors...
This song is like that.
