The Other Side

I walk into the room You don't 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 don't wanna get into it right now Can't this family have one day To get away from all the pain And through the night I see the light Shining from the neighbor's windows I dream of life where I'm safe In a home where I am not alone Some day I will lay me down On the grass where everything is greener It always seems 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, uncomfortably It's burning me Is anybody there In your eyes there's nothing to see Just because your dreams have died Don't drag me down, I've still got mine Chorus Neighbor boy runs up to me, his eyes all black and blue I say what happened to you boy, he said my daddy flew Off the hook 'cause I was playin' too loud I guess he couldn't hear the TV He said son I'm a teach you a lesson And then he .... and then he.... Maybe it's not so good on the other side Maybe it's not so good on the other side But it always seems so good, on the other side It always looks so good .... it always seems so good
