Turn me off, pull the plug
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

Brain dead
I'm not
Brain dead
Sentenced, forgot

Paralysed, in my shell
Enduring every endless day
Immobilized on my back
Aware of everything they say

Extricate me
Eliminate me

Brain dead
I'm not
Brain dead
Drip fed, forgot

I can't blink my eye or cry or even speak

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

Let me pass from this world
So I fade away in peace

Comprehending
Unrelenting

Brain dead
I'm not
Brain dead
Sentenced, forgot

Brain dead
I'm not
Brain dead
Drip fed, forgot
