The hands move painfully forward
Time's progression reminds you of the limit of yours
Every second another step

Towards the answers to questions no one wants to ask

Kept alive by machines...

Your life has been gone from the moment you knew
Living half dead asleep
This fragile shell finally overcome by life


The kids only know you're not well
The last visit they kissed you and said goodbye

They won't forget, and soon wonder
Where it was you went, how can they see you again?


Kept alive by machines...
Your life has been gone from the moment you knew
Living half dead asleep

This fragile shell finally overcome by life

By your bedside, you'll soon die


The machines won't save you, just look at your flesh
Swollen, discolored, putrid

You'll soon be dead

The hands move painfully forward

Time's progression reminds you of the limit of yours
Every second another step
Towards the answers to questions no one wants to ask


As seconds melt into death
We are relieved to not see pain on your face

The hands have moved into the dark
All lines are flat, and you have moved onward


Kept alive by machines...
Your life has been gone from the moment you knew
Living half dead asleep

This fragile shell finally overcome by life
