Turn me off, pull the plug
Leave me with some dignity
I am not, what I was
And I don't need the sympathy
Leave me with some dignity
I am not, what I was
And I don't need the sympathy
Alive inside me
No one can hear me
No one can hear me
Brain Dead! - I'm not
Brain Dead! - Sentenced / Forgot
Brain Dead! - Sentenced / Forgot
Paralyzed, in my shell
Enduring every endless day
Immobilized, on my back
Aware of everything they say
Enduring every endless day
Immobilized, on my back
Aware of everything they say
Extricate me
Eliminate me
Eliminate me
Brain Dead! - I'm not
Brain Dead! - Drip fed / Forgot
Brain Dead! - Drip fed / Forgot
I can't blink my eye or cry or even speak

( Glenn ) [ 3:20 - 3:25 ]
They crowd around my bed
Condescending words are said
Thinking I don't hear or know
What is going on - Hello!
Can't you suckers hear my cries
From inside I'm still alive
It's my decision to abort
Turn off the goddamn life support
Condescending words are said
Thinking I don't hear or know
What is going on - Hello!
Can't you suckers hear my cries
From inside I'm still alive
It's my decision to abort
Turn off the goddamn life support
Let me pass, from this world
So I fade away in peace
So I fade away in peace
Comprehending
Unrelenting
Unrelenting
Brain Dead! - I'm not
Brain Dead! - Sentenced / Forgot
Brain Dead! - I'm not
Brain Dead! - Drip fed / Forgot
Brain Dead! - Sentenced / Forgot
Brain Dead! - I'm not
Brain Dead! - Drip fed / Forgot
Footnote:
We all have sympathy for those left to care and despair for victims of tragedy, but what of the victim himself - trapped inside his body, a coffin - unable to move a muscle or blink an eye, but aware of the living hell he's enduring and unable to bring it to an end - a man not even a shadow of his former self - a man who wants to be remembered for what he was - not forgotten because of what he's become.
