Spinning Room

you can give me

a pill to sleep

you can give me

ten different kinds

 

but i lay down

under sheets of concrete

and i can’t get the weight of it

off my mind

 

feeling depleted

feeling drained

much like the blood

was sucked out of my veins

 

i lay down

in a spinning room

in a spinning room

 

so, go ahead, diagnose me

give me a name for my pain

watch me very, very closely

find the thing to blame
