By Your Bedside Lyrics

By Your Bedside lyrics

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
