I like it better when
The lights are off
When no one can hear
No can talk
I like it better when
It's quiet upstairs
No one up there listens
No one up there cares
I like it better when
The words can't hurt
When you're six feet under
In the unforgiving earth
I like it better when
The days slide by
When they slip away like dreams
So I've less time to cry
I like it better when
My head is my own
The voices can not rent
They can not get a loan
I like it better when
No one bothers me
When I can lie down endlessly
When the only me there is
Is me.
