Brain Dead

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

Paralyzed 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
Slowly 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
