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
