Wasting Away (Sloth) Lyrics

No desire, nothing to achieve

Time moves on, makes a fool of me

A slave to the screen, can't pull away

I resign to my fate, what's the point of change?

I hear a voice speaking to me

It tells me all I'd like to see

Forgotten just after it's said

I feel my eyes roll in my head

The voice tries to call out to him…

"Your prospects, they're turning grim

Can barely move your limbs

Soon enough, there'll be no need

Your brain is rotten and atrophied."

"There is no use, the choice was made

Stick to the dark, stay in the cave

Slow death received, no contact yearned

Love's been rented, but not returned."

Wasting away, starting to decay

Full of apathy, smiling blissfully

Plugged in and engulfed in light

My needs are met with just one swipe

The screens are my friends and they love me

Surrounded and kept company

The voice pleads to him…

"Chained to an endless stream

Mind pumped full of dopamine

A constant observer, you are

Lifeless eyes and smile most bizarre!"

Wasting away, starting to decay

Full of apathy, smiling blissfully

Wasting away, starting to decay

Full of apathy, smiling blissfully x2
