How far away is your safe space
When you're just a baby?
While I thought my mom's bed was my place,
Weighted blankets couldn't save me.

A sea of stuffed animals couldn't drown out the sound.
Flight response but I can't leave the house.
At school they'd say "I'm telling" but they couldn't hear the yelling.
They didn't understand what drugs do to a man.
I was just a baby wondering who's going to save me.
