restless uniform

Feedback Received!

let me go back, to God i prayed

to the days where all i did was play

>

climbing the branches of a tall pine tree

sleeping on the couch in my torn onesie

>

i can't wait to get old, and build myself a home

it's just a dream i'm waiting for

reality will shake me to my core

>

the AC in church is just a little too warm

feeling confined in this restless uniform

>

i can't wait to get home and play on the floor

watch my brothers argue over the 64

>

i can't wait to get old, and build myself a home

it's just a dream i'm waiting for

reality will shake me to my core

>

watch the fan spin around, find a lighter, burn the carpet down

throw my socks to the ceiling, catch a wing and send it reeling

to the walls

>

in your leather jacket like a turtle shell, protecting me from the hail

pick me up, by the hair, and send me reeling without a care

to the walls

>

i can't wait to get old, and send you to a home,

it's just a nightmare wishing for

an end to this never ending bore

>

i can't wait to get old, and build myself a home

it's just a dream i'm waiting for

reality will shake me to my core

These are lyrics to a song I wrote. I believe lyrics should have deep meaning and stand on their own as poetry to make meaningful songs. Let me know what you think. :)
