By Your Bedside Lyrics - Singles - 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 no one 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 no one 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
