There'll be a day when the memories can't get to me / And I'll be alright / On the other side / There'll be a day when there'll be no more / Skeletons coming through my closet door

Story behind the song
This was one of those songs that was brewing deep down inside for a very long time. There are some things in my life that I just don't know how to deal with, and I force myself to suffer before pushing it to the back of my mind, where it resurfaces from time to time, ruining whatever good streak I have going. After one particular instance of great loss in my life, I snapped to the conclusion that I did not want to do that to myself any longer. All those hidden memories came flooding back, I gave them one last trip across my emotions, then I spilled out this song. And I think I grew a little bit because of it. I've certainly let a lot of things go, and I feel a lot more prepared for whatever life is going to throw at me next.
Lyrics
I've been trying to forgive myself
For all the mistakes I've made
I've been trying to forget my past
'Cause I don't want it weighing me down
But it's got a sticky way of staying around with me
These memories wont let me go
But I know
There'll be a day when the memories can't get to me
And I'll be alright
On the other side
There'll be a day when there'll be no more
Skeletons coming through my closet door
On the other side I'll be alright
On the other side of the sky
This cross was not the one that I was brought to bear
Still I find that I'm scared
Though grace has replaced the innocence I took
These self-inflicted scars are the hardest to overlook
There'll be no hurt, no death, no pain
No darkness, no more rain
No questions, no more shame
No past to erase on the other side
No need for escape on the other side
