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

DISTANT DEATH

DISTANT DEATH
