C
Turn me off, pull the plug
Leave me with some dignity
I am not what I was
And I don't need the sympathy
             F#
Alive inside me
   C            F#
No one can hear me

Chorus:
       Fm
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

Chorus

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

Fm                   F# G#
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

C
Let me pass from this world
Slowly fade away in peace
C         F#
Comprehending
C       F# A
Unrelenting

Chorus - x2
