Sleeping Lions

We speak in sighs
But most of us don’t mind
It helps to pass the time
Repeating lines about love and desire
I know I’ve heard this all before
I could try to deny
But why?
Someday I might consciously devise
A game that’s all my own
I’ll improvise the rules that are required
But to win might take a while
I could try to deny
But why?
Now our company divides
into another fleeting night
While this occupied our time
I swear the idea wasn’t mine
Next time that there’s nothing left to do Tell me something only you know
