my sheets are a noose
every night i swing
swing my life away
my pillow is an ocean
every night i drown
in my own tears and hopes
the pills
the people
the harsh sunlight
during the day
i am protected
i can smile without worry
the Monster is asleep
pretty pills protect princesses
but my terror grows
as the sun sinks low
the sky bright red
like the blood the Monster sheds
i wait until morning
before my eyes close
in my tears i drown
in my dreams i die
screams wake me
oh, those are mine
i'm sorry
didn't mean to wake you
no, i'm fine
just a nightmare
just a nightmare
*The Monster eats pretty princesses when they close their eyes.
Nightmares are horrible, especially when you're the starring victim and villian.
