Laid To Waste

I must fight for my life lest I rot away I must fight against this unceasing decay I must fight for my life lest I rot away Fight against this unceasing decay Contentment will lay me to waste Contentment will lay me to waste Contentment will lay me to waste I feel the gnawing of the undead They try to pull me into their lower realm There you become the static I feel the pull from below I hear the call to action Yet I only fight hard enough to stay afloat I fall into unconsciousness so frequently that I forget why I'm here I just blend into the crowd Am I a lost cause or can I rise above this mediocre life I lead I feel the gnawing of the undead They try to pull me into their lower realm There you become the static I feel the pull from below I hear the call to action Yet I only fight hard enough to stay afloat Unceasing decay imposed but I will resist Unceasing decay imposed but I will resist It's time to hold my ground and fight for what I keep Fight It's worth the effort I will hold my ground and fight I must command my own vessel I must prevent my mind from staging a coup When will I realize that my time is precious
