Waste away

I've drug out these careless days

And dug a shallow grave, carved the tombstone with my name

Uninspired servitude, it’s not worth living

Have you ever thrown your life away into the sea?

Your goals and desires are drowned and erased

Drug by the hair through a never ending rut

My mind an empty shell

My body just a husk

I'm caught inside this paralyzing sleep

Lasting pain my misery will reap

Staring blank

Scroll along the feed

Pseudo-news, useless views

Distractions nonetheless

Failure, buried by the stress

I am trapped

Held down by my restraints

Shackled by the weight

Cannot penetrate

Through my hates embrace

On this fleeting day

Everything is prisoned in a way

I’m a servant by the hand of life’s cruel fate

The Warden baits that I can leave the gate

Then the restraints are pulled

In this perverted game

I’m a servant the end looks bleak

I'm caught inside this paralyzing sleep

Lasting pain my misery will reap

Nothing ever matters when

I’m still a servant to

The useless life I lead

Repetitiveness is key to this

Life’s perverted game

Forever oppressed in this

I am a servant despite

Attempts to seem like I am more Than a

I am a servant in this

I am a servant for life

I am a servant of spite

I am a servant

Slaving away inside this forgotten life

Nothing to remember depraving strife

I am slave inside this forgotten soul

I will not be remembered life took its toll

I am a body shackled to this decayed life

I am a plaything on a shelf outlived my worth

I am a subject to this waning life

I am a plaything on a shelf outlived my worth
