Turn me off
Pull the plug
Leave me with some dignity
I am not
What I was
And I don't need the sympathy

Alive inside me
No one can hear me

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

Brain dead
I'm not
Brain dead
Drip fed
Forgot

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

Let me pass
From this world
So I fade away in peace

Comprehending
Unrelenting

Brain dead
I'm not
Brain dead
Sentenced
Forgot

Brain dead
I'm not
Brain dead
Drip fed
Forgot

    My Interpretation
    This song seems to be about someone who is injured in a car accident (the screeching of brakes/crashing/ambulance sirens at the beginning of the track supports this.) They are pronounced brain dead, but they are actually conscious and want to be put of their misery.
