The Other Side — текст песни (Smile Empty Soul)

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 cos 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
