Eric in June

If I close my eyes and think real hard
I return to my small backyard
But it's not the same - it's no longer green
Are you wondering what I mean?

It's black and sad and big and cold
It makes me feel so old
I hate it like I hate you
Does anybody feel like I do?

This never-ending vicious trip
Flashes of a busted lip
Bruises on my left and right
Nightmares passing through the night

Do you hate me like I hate you?
I wonder what I have to do
To make you feel the sharp cold ice
It feels so nice

This is what you get used to
When you live a life like I do
Always happy with my misery
Leave me alone; let me be

Because I don't care how you feel
I'm cold as snow and hard as steel
Your little games can't make me hurt
I'm finished with being your dirt

And you don't have to love me anymore
I'm not for sale; I'm not your whore
I don't need to see your smile
I'll be okay for a little while

But when I'm through
I won't come running back to you.
