"This is the way the fucking world ends. Look at this fucking shit we're in man. Not with a bang, but a whimper. And with a whimper, I'm fucking splitting, Jack." - Apocalypse Now

lyrics

A bed as artificial defilade
Curtains shut to keep the shame contained
Oh what a thrill, all this time to kill

So tiring sitting doing nothing, drinking evening,
Wishing suffering could sing a sweeter spring
Dead-robin-red could ring in
Wondering where to begin

Who needs another given name
To wither day by day, and sleep your life away
Hey yeah, just sit and wait and waste away

Not just talking about lethargy
But a sad soul deciding not to be
Given the choice: use or lose your voice

Tells the story of a sorry strike for glory
But the solitary wary, dead and buried with no bravery,
They vanish with their history

Who needs another given name
To wither day by day, and sleep your life away
Hey yeah, just sit and wait and waste away
Just sit and wait and waste away
