1. IN STILLNESS I LAY

Stuck in a state of perceived vacancy
My body is frozen, unknown to me
Screaming for help from behind withdrawn eyes
Unknown to them, my conciousness cries

In stillness I lay, my body betrayed
I attempt to move but no reaction displayed
Hearing their dread, that my body is dead
"I am alive!' I scream from within my head

Day by day, they sit and talk to me
Speaking of an existence they wish I could see

But over time their visits decline
Accepting their loss, they no longer try
I start to hear talk of unplugging me
Gradually accepting the idea of losing me

But in stillness I lay, my body betrayed
I attempt to move but no reaction displayed
Hearing their dread, that my body is dead
"I am alive!' I scream from within my head

Days and months slip away
There is no telling of time in this state
Losing all grip with reality
What is the truth or fabricated by dreams?

But in stillness I lay, my body betrayed
I attempt to move but no reaction displayed
Hearing their dread, that my body is dead
"I am alive!' I scream from within my head

But in stillness I lay, my body betrayed
I attempt to move but no reaction displayed
Hearing their dread, that my body is dead
"I am alive!' I scream from within my head

I am alive!
I am not prepared to die!
I clutch onto life and with every breath I try
To move my hand or my legs upon command
A contact with the outside world my fate demands

And then I hear voices
They say goodbye to me
Whilst sobbing, that fatal click
Life drains from me

In stillness I lay
Beeps timing decays
I fade away
Fade away
