Down the window I see two dark men
Their heads are covered I think I know them
Maybe from school or from back then, where I had no friends
I think I hate them
I think I wanna go down and hit them
They have a gun on their hands
And they are thinking about going up to my apartment
I think they're selling something
Waiting for the bus or something
But I check again and I see they changed the spot
And I find their eyes in the dark
They're looking right at me
I don't want to feel this anymore
I don't want to see people I don't know
Smoking the billionth cigarette i wonder
If the light went out on the neighbourhood or am I
Too dark inside
Should i have a bath, or have another glass of milk
But I'm afraid to go through the hall maybe someone's there already
I hear a voice coming from the other room
Are they there now or is it just the wind
or the cat, or a rat, or a moving hat
I don't want to feel this anymore
I don't want to see people I don't know
