Attention Machine - Whirlpool

The sun comes up and I jump in
So aware, so fucking zen
I know the cost, the sacrifice
That doesn't help or make it right but
The sun comes up and I jump in

I swear I'm gonna get out
But I know I won't
Cause every day I think I'll drown
But every day I don't
Does that make me a strong swimmer?
Does that just make me a fool?

Thinking I can stay
On top of the world
On top of the whirlpool
On top of the world
On top of the whirlpool

I crawl to bed beat down and blue
You try to help but it hurts you too
I gave myself, it sucks me dry
There's nothing left for you at night
Then I crawl to bed beat down and blue

I swear I'm gonna get out
But I know I won't
Cause every day I think I'll drown
But every day I don't
Does that make me a strong swimmer?
Does that just make me a fool?

Thinking I can stay
On top of the world
On top of the whirlpool
On top of the world
On top of the whirlpool

Around and round
And round and round and round
I won't admit, I won't admit it
It only ever brings me
Down down down down down
And that's where I'm headed
That's where I'm headed
Lonely every day

I swear I'm gonna get out
But I know I won't
Cause every day I think I'll drown
But every day I don't

I swear I'm gonna get out
But I know I won't
Cause every day I think I'll drown
But every day I don't
Does that make me a strong swimmer?
Does that just make me a fool?

Thinking I can stay
On top of the world
On top of the whirlpool
Thinking I can stay
On top of the world
On top of the whirlpool
Lonely every day
Thinking I can stay
On top of the world
On top of the whirlpool
