[Intro][Symphonic Doom Metal] (Massive, slow, incredibly downtuned, sludgy Nu Metal riff. Drums hit slow and heavy. Low, droning orchestral dirge.) [Verse 1][Male Vocalist, Droning Monologue] (M, Low, Tired Monologue) The sofa is a prison, the remote is the key The screen is the window to a world that isn't me... This engineered apathy, a sickness in the mind I watch the battles fade away, the will I left behind... They call it the digital comfort, the blanket of the lie It’s easier to scroll than fight, easier to simply die I know the cages closing, I hear the distant call But the slave is warm and fed, so why risk losing it all? [Pre-Chorus 1][Female Vocalist, Seductive Lullaby] (F, Clean, Beautiful Whisper) Hush now, don't you fight... Just consume the pretty light... Nothing's wrong and nothing's right... just turn it off tonight... (Orchestra swells with a deep, tragic sadness.) [Chorus 1][Both Vocalists, Slow Pained Scream] (Monumental, slow-motion chorus. Guitars a wall of sludge. Funeral-like theme.) (B, Slow Scream) WE ARE THE COMFORTABLE CAGES! Numb through the digital ages! (M) We turned the pages on our rage! (F) And locked our souls away... (B) SLOTH! The final sin of the Mainframe! (F, Whisper) ...it's easier this way... [Verse 2][Female Vocalist, Hollow Melody] (F, Chillingly Hollow) My family's in the other room, staring at their own glow We're all together in the silence, but we're all alone, you know... I see the dust collecting on the books I swore I'd read The promises of real life, the warnings in my head The guiding light is a flicker I can choose to extinguish now It's too much effort to stand up, too much effort to avow The world outside is chaotic, the fighting is loud and deep I'll take the warm anesthesia and drift into a long sleep. [Pre-Chorus 2][Male Vocalist, Droning Monologue] (M, Low, Tired Monologue) The fighting is pointless, the system is too vast... The comfort is current, the rebellion is past... (F, Seductive Whisper) Just rest now, don't you fight... just turn it off tonight... [Chorus 2][Both Vocalists, Slow Pained Scream] (The massive, slow, heavy chorus hits again, more desperately.) (B, Slow Scream) WE ARE THE COMFORTABLE CAGES! Numb through the digital ages! (M) We turned the pages on our rage! (F) And locked our souls away... (B) SLOTH! The final sin of the Mainframe! (F, Whisper) ...it's easier this way... [Bridge][Haunting Quiet] (Hauntingly quiet. Orchestral drone, single echoing clean guitar note.) (M, Family/Respect Whisper) Wake up... wake up... they're taking everything... the family... (F, Sloth Whisper) Shhh... it's just a dream... go back to sleep... (Long, mournful orchestral swell builds immense, tragic tension.) [Outro][Final Sludgy Breakdown] (Final, crushing, sludgy breakdown. Orchestra plays tragic funeral march theme. Vocals repeat, distorting and burying.) (B, Chanted/Buried) IT'S EASIER THIS WAY! (Repeat, slowing) (M) EASIER... (F) EASIER... (The music slows and drones out on a low, heavy, unresolved chord that just stops.)
