The Ikea Trauma - Panzerballett

I believe it was a Wednesday

I had reached the age of eight

Ever since I’ve possessed a potent

Furniture store hate

My mother had to do some shopping

So I was obliged to tag along

Confused in the Kivik the Loveseat section

I took one damn turn wrong

Ivar!

Ivar!

Shelving unit

Mommy!

The Ikea trauma

Panic!

Panic!

Where is my mommy?

Mommy!

The Ikea trauma

Panic!

Panic!

Suck on my tummy

Luckily I had my Ace Frehley doll

Or else I think I’d lost my mind

Ace was brave and encouraging

The space man could see, where I was blind

Still wake up sweaty, anxiety attacks

With Hemnes beds, Vilgot chairs

And multi-function transition strip

Nightmares
