While you were asleepPulled my hood to block the light from the TVTurned the volume up to distract me from constant noisesLeaking under the apartment doorIt doesn't helpI get up and I crawl out and don't hear moreMake a barricade of full trash bags and empty boxesPerched behind them, closely watchingWhile you were asleepOn the couch, watching a movie, smoking weedRummaging through the utensils in the kitchen counter,In the drainer, which one's sharper.When the light creeps inloosen my grip and crawl back into my bed.Your alarm is set to go off in a half an hour.Eyes closed. Fake snore. None the wiser.Victoria made me happyNow I can only be scaredAnd people tell me that time can fix the wound.But that's crap.'Cause she's not coming backAnd life's unfair.I'm always anxious and worried.SongtexteI'm always freaked out and scared.And people tell me that time can fix the wound.But that's crap.Vicki's not coming back.And I scream, "Why did I get left behind?"I know it's an exaggerationto say I would rather die thanshare this place with people capableof inspiring such fear and hopelessnessthat I'm frozen in my bed...but that sums it up.Teenage halloweenHot safety pins in nozzles of shaving creamSpend the evening spraying cars, toilet papering housesWhat's the harm in smashing pumpkins?Decades on, with kidsAnd I don't let them go out past dark.I sit on the front porch with a shotgunWhile they're upstairs sleeping.Total darkness.Love.
