A pillow is a large cushion support for the head or other parts of the body, usually used while sleeping in a bed, or for the body as used on a couch or chair. A pillow can be a cloth case stuffed with down, feathers, or foam rubber.
There are also throw pillows (also called toss pillows), which are pillows that are purely decorative and not designed for support or comfort. A cushion is a soft bag filled with air or padding like feathers or foam rubber. In the United Kingdom, these types of pillows are called a cushion, with the word pillow used for pillows on a bed. In Spanish, a pillow is called almohada.
The word pillow comes from Middle English pilwe, from Old English pyle (akin to Old High German pfuliwi) and from Latin pulvinus. The first known use of the word pillow was before 12th century.
Pillows were originally used mainly by wealthy men in Asia.[citation needed] They were also found in Ancient Egyptian tombs.[citation needed] The difficulty of sophisticated dyes and sewing techniques led to the development of pillows as an art form, with highly decorated pillows becoming prized commodities first in China and Persia and later in Medieval Europe. In Tudor England, pillows became widely-used; it was believed only women giving birth and weak men should use one. The Industrial Revolution saw the mass production of decorated textiles and decorated pillows. Traditional Chinese pillows are often hard boxes made from stone, wood, metal, or porcelain instead of stuffed fabric. Some ancient Egyptians slept on pillows made out of stone.[unreliable source?]
Another day closed in my mind
Think of the things they say I like
They take my time I loose the sight
Of all the things I really need
Scared of anything I'm not
I'm looking for the answer you've got
I'm not made up of what you
I'll catch the secret
And put it in my head
I won't let them the chance to use me anymore
I Feel confused now
And lost inside me
cause they want me to give up everything I love
And while they're trying to waste my time
Condemning people for every kind
Of difference as a human race
I'm makin' my own theory
Now I've got an answer
Now I Know There's something wrong
You're what you have not what you are
I catch the secret
And put it in my head
And Now I'm Sure that they won't use me anymore
I Felt confused there
And lost inside me
But now I won't give up everything that I love
I won't believe you care at all
And everytime that you'll say goodbye
I'll watch my back from your hate
For every people who fells in disgrace
For every prayer to God that I made
For every time I lost my pride
I catch the secret
And put it in my head
And Now I'm Sure that they won't use me
I Felt confused there
And lost inside me
