Princess and the pea
I feel like that girl who had to sleep on a pea
To prove that she was a princess
I’m not so lucky, it’s not a pea I’m sleeping on
I’m sleeping on a bed of sharp nails
To prove I’m not a **** up
That girl came in from the pouring rain
Couldn’t sleep on the tower of mattressess
On top of that very tiny pea
I can’t ever really come in to escape the rain
No matter where I go I’m followed by a cloud
It never stops raining
On really bad nights it feels like it’s hailing
The bed of nails, the raining cloud
It represents and constantly reminds me of my
Memories, regrets and pain
From my past, my present and my future
So when I finally close my eyes
On top of that bed of nails
Under the dark rain cloud
I dream of a like better then mine
Hoping that one day
I could trade places with that girl
Who sleeps on top of the pea
