By Your Bedside - Vehemence

The hands move painfully forward

Time’s progression reminds you of the limit of yours

Every second another step

Towards the answers to questions noone 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 the bedside, You’ll soon die

The machines won’t save you, just look at your flesh

Swollen, discolored, putrid

You’ll soon die

The hands move painfully forward

Time’s progression reminds you of the limit of yours

Every second another step

Towards the answers to questions noone wants to ask

As the 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
