Last year I hid from the world
But now I don't remember the way back
I pretended to be asleep
But I kept listening behind closed doors

Now I am in a constant state of sleep paralysis
ZZZ ZZZ ZZZ
My sleep demon sounds a lot like Joe Biden
But has the hair of Donald Trump

It grasps my forearm as I lay paralyzed
With its other hand it scrolls my Instagram feed
And describes, whispering in my ear, the stories of my friends
When its done it tenderly covers me with the sheets and exits the room

Is the whole "get your life together" thing still going on?
Am I in denial of my problems?
Maybe I am overthinking it a bit
Do you think I am overreacting?

The earth is flat
It is not even a circle
It is a board game
The type of overcomplicated ones that nobody really understands

We are asked to define a problem for the solution they have already designed
A series of well-calculated progressively worse mistakes
Do you think I am overreacting?
Maybe I am overthinking it a bit

I can't use the controller
Don't push it
I am not allowed to
Believe me, it is better this way

Only the babysitter has access to the TV
And she wants to see a movie with bears
Don't you dare touch the controller
She is very old as her hair indicates

Let's watch a movie with bears
I like bears
This will be fun
Yes! We will have a good time
