Dream Defeater

you’re a dream defeater

because you were never allowed to dream

so life for you is a living nightmare

to hide the fact

that you always have been scared

terrify those with a dream with your scares

take those fears and watch your fiends appear

you thought they wouldn’t be here

after all those years

dream defeater, who was it who killed your dreams?

was it your dad, did he never let you be sad?

was it your mum, what did she do wrong?

was it a teacher, or a boss or an ex?

was it the voice in your head 

that taunts you when you go to bed?

dreamdefeater, did you ever have a dream? 

was it to be a firefighter or a dancer on the tv screen?
