I pile stuffed animals on my bed Seeing stuffing instead of red Clinging to them tight They know how to hold me right Back to childhood Where everything was always good No scars to bear-nothing to fear And smiling ear to ear in a mirror Reveling in the scent of those days I snuggle close and everything else dies away With what's left of learning our letters Hoping as we get older that everything gets better

Lies We Tell Ourselves as Kids
I pile stuffed animals on my bed Seeing stuffing instead of red Clinging to them tight They know how to hold me right Back to childhood Where everything was always good No scars to bear-nothing to fear And smiling ear to ear in a mirror Reveling in the scent of those days I snuggle close and everything else dies away With what's left of learning our letters Hoping as we get older that everything gets better
