reading saved my life.

when i was young id stay up all night
in a tent made of sheets and dreams
id fight the heavy lids with a flashlight sword
and a book for a shield
words taste so much sweater in the stolen night
when i was young id lay
in my ship of a bed
battling monsters and demons
in my mind
id lay in the middle
so nothing could drag me overboard as the waves rocked and tossed me to sleep
when i was young
when i was young
when i was young
id dream
these stolen words taste so much sweeter in the dead of night
mommys sleeping
works been hard
never seen daddy and hes not coming home
schools no fun these kids dont know
how to dream
when i was young id stay up all night
in a tent made of sheets and dreams
id fight the heavy lids with a flashlight sword
and a book for a shield
