At Death's Door

Catatonic
Brain-dead, un-living state
Though you're still breathing
It's clearly far too late
Unresponsive

No thoughts inside your head
A living corpse, you're trapped
Within a shell already dead
Legally alive
Slowly pay the price
Machines prolong your strife
Live on just to - die

No decency, they knowingly prolong, your morbid fate
No dignity, you're forced to live on, in a vegetative state
Brought to death's door
To suffer even more
How long have you been waiting for?

Forced to survive
What can barely be called life?
Who has the right to decide?
If you have the right to die?
Comatose

Drawing out this living death
The machine that makes you exist
Drags out the days till your last breath
Death is so close
Only one breath away
If we could just set you free
Instead of watching you decay
Legally alive

Slowly pay the price
Machines prolong your strife
Live on just to - die
No decency, they knowingly prolong, your morbid fate
No dignity, you're forced to live on, in a vegetative state
Brought to death's door

To suffer even more
How long have you been waiting for?
Forced to survive
What can barely be called life?
Freedom is a lie
If you don't have the right to die
