i walk into the room
you dont have to scream i can hear you
bad trip the needle sticks you get your fix
from confrontation
i try to make it past
i dont want to get into it right now
cant this family have one day to get away
from all the pain

and though the night i see the light
shining from my neighbors windows
i dream of life where i'm safe
in a home where i am not alone
someday i will lay me down on the grass
where everyday is greener
it always looks so good on the other side

i'm sick of all the heat you can taste the hate in
the air running through this family unconfortably
its killing me
is anybody there in your eyes theres
nothing to see just because your dreams
have died dont drag me down i've still
got mine

neighbor boy runs up to me his eyes all black and blue
i said what happened to you boy said my daddy flew
off the hook cause i was playing to loud
i guess he couldn't hear the tv he said son
ima teach you a lesson and then he and then he
maybe its not so good on the other side
it always seems so good on the other side it always looks so good
