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 

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 

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
