Distant Death

I cannot move , I cannot speak 
I`m like a bodyless brain 
Lying in a bed surrounded by tubes 
In this room silence reigns 
Paralytic disease infests my body 
But my brain still exists 
That`s the only impediment 
Between me and a painless death 

DISTANT DEATH 
Distant death 

Thinking back of my past live 
It all seems like a lie 
Why did I come to life 
When I was only living to die 
Life`s so distant , death`s so near 
And there is no way out 
Just because some Politician 
says " Death isn`t right " 

DISTANT DEATH 
DISTANT DEATH 

Machines and Chemicals feed my body 
I`m not human anymore 
Turn off these systems and let me rest 
If I scream just ignore 
So , don`t hesitate just read my eyes 
And do what you have to do 
Pull the needles , push the buttons 
To stop my living hell 

DISTANT DEATH
