Mortifera - SLOTH

The daylight fades, but I don't care to wake, The dust is settling softly on my floor. There is no promise left for me to make, And I don't want to open up the door. The heavy blanket feels just like a stone, It paralyzes every single limb. I watch the spider spinning all alone, As all my remaining future lights grow dim. This is my sloth, a dark and velvet swamp, It drowns my dreams and suffocates my will. I turn away from every golden lamp, And choose to stay completely dead and still. The time is ticking, slipping through my hands, But I just choose to close my heavy eyes. I am the queen of cold and empty lands, Where every bright ambition slowly dies. A slow and painful melody of grief. But brings my broken heart no real relief. Why should I fight? Why should I even try? The world outside is moving much too fast. I’ll just lie down and let the days pass by, And freeze forever in my fading past. This is my sloth, a dark and velvet swamp, It drowns my dreams and suffocates my will. I turn away from every golden lamp, And choose to stay completely dead and still. The time is ticking, slipping through my hands, But I just choose to close my heavy eyes. I am the queen of cold and empty lands, Where every bright ambition slowly dies. Let it go... let it fade. I am a shadow that I made. No strength to run, no strength to cry, I watch the heavy clouds go by. The rust is winning... let me sleep. The dark water is too deep. This is my sloth, a dark and velvet swamp, It drowns my dreams and suffocates my will. I turn away from every golden lamp, And choose to stay completely dead and still. The time is ticking, slipping through my hands, But I just choose to close my heavy eyes. I am the queen of cold and empty lands, Where every bright ambition slowly dies. Let me sleep... Fade to grey.
