## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
Lights out, eyes closed

Day gone, stay home

The clock's running out, although I should be rushing

I can't follow through, time has flew, and I'm doing nothing

TV, maybe

Feel so lazy

I can't motivate from the weight that I'm under

I'm so overwhelmed, so just go ahead and take it, it's yours

**[Chorus]**

I'm losing the will I had to move

I've no longer got a thing to prove

Becoming so lazy, it's crazy that they see

A way me and you can deliver something new

I'm losing the hours in the gloom

Confined in my bed, it's like a tomb

If I do not wake up and shape up, I'll break all

The promises that I was making to you

**[Verse 2]**

Week lost, self-blame

Slack off, play games

With nothing to show for my procrastinating

I sit on my couch and waste time, I should be creating

Checked out, cold streak

Check-in next week

I'm sick of the same little lies to get over

I'm tired of the game, so just go ahead and take it, it's yours

**[Chorus]**

I'm losing the will I had to move

I've no longer got a thing to prove

Becoming so lazy

It's crazy

That they see

A way me and you can deliver something new

I'm losing the hours in the gloom

Confined in my bed, it's like a tomb

So help me, I'm lazy, I'm lazy, I'm lazy, I'm lazy

I'm lazy, I'm lazy, I'm lazy, I'm lazy, I'm lazy

I'm lazy, I'm lazy, I'm lazy, I'm lazy, I'm lazy

Losing touch and shutting down until I'm lost

**[Interlude]**

It was supposed to be so effortless

A brand new challenger, but nonetheless

I thought that I was ready, so I told him yes

They needed record speed, I acquiesced

It was easy for a while

Then I let the work compile

For another day, then another off-day

Then it was a more-often-than-not day

I was screwed, underwater

I was like a lamb to the slaughter

I used to think that I was worthy

It's been a long time since "No Mercy"

So I'm done

**[Chorus]**

Go ahead and take it, it's yours

I'm losing the will I had to move

I've no longer got a thing to prove

Becoming so lazy, it's crazy that they see

A way me and you can deliver something new

I'm losing the hours in the gloom

Confined in my bed, it's like a tomb

If I do not wake up and shape up

I'll break all the promises that I was making to you

I'm losing the friends I thought I knew

I've no longer got a thing to do

Becoming so lazy, they blame me 'cause they see

That maybe I'll never deliver something new

I'm losing the hours in the gloom

Confined in my bed, it's like a tomb

If I do not wake up and shape up

I'll break all the promises that I made you

**[Outro]**

Lost it all

They call me, and I cannot answer the question

So I stall, I can't bear to listen

Shut them out, I start to doubt

I had any promise, so I give up

And drift gently to sleep
## Differences to Final Song

The demo features no lyric changes, besides the subtle change of "**but** my procrastinating" to "**for** my procrastinating" in the second verse. The instrumental itself is very similar, but the use of the "robotic" background vocals is not as apparent in this version than the final. Another notable change is in the chorus, where instead of heightening the pitch of the vocals at the word "move" it lowers them. Also in the interlude, the demo uses much louder background vocals than in the final song. Lastly, the outro also includes heavier background vocals.
