lifelessly
In dead fashion
Lifelessly means without life or vitality.
A body may lie lifelessly on the ground—dead or appearing so.
The word extends to anything lacking energy or spirit: She stared lifelessly at the wall, His arm hung lifelessly at his side.
A performance delivered lifelessly is dull and uninspired.
