I'm living in a whirlpool of fools

smart

loud

and tricky

-

I heard overheard conversations

lies

vicious

and daring

-

I fell inside a black hole

lost

bad

and addictive

-

Why do I feel sleepy?

Why do I sleep?

-

Conversations do kill

like a torpedo

low blows

I'm on a boat

can't get to the coast

I am no longer afloat

-

Why do I feel sleepy?

In a vortex of malicious rumors

-

I tried to be good

with people talking

Killing jokes

between the smoke

like a bunch of dopes

left me with no hope

-

Why do I feel sleepy?

The world boringly creepy

-
