Suppressed Hunger

I'm sweating out the dregs of excellent
 Over everyday balances and checks
 Apparently in the spirit of forging ahead
 Apparently in the spirit of forging ahead
 I'm wasting away on a diet of hunger suppressants
 Pause to ponder a sensuous wander - emaciated
 A mirage of bliss on a diet of hunger suppressants
 Perpetual dread that I'm not keeping pace
 Avert the gaze from pure stimulus
 Counting down in joyless retrospect
 Counting down in joyless retrospect
 The schedule insists
 The status quo is adamant - emaciated
 The "initiative" is the bitter slog
 Numbness and boredom no call to a hait
 The "initiative" is the bitter slog
 Numbness and boredom no call to a hait
 The schedule insists
 The status quo is adamant
 Emaciated
 Emaciated
 Emaciated, emaciated
 Brief respite sees the absorption of junk
 Yet more countless hours squandered
 Brief respite sees the absorption of junk
 Yet more countless hours squandered
 Daring to die will come
 As an ill-mannered shirk
 Emaciated
 Emaciated
 Emaciated, emaciated
 Daring to die will come
 As an ill-mannered shirk - emaciated
