Lyrics

Brain Dead

[Verse 1]

Your body lies without a twitch, can't move

Feelin' gone, nothin' to say or do

Still alive but you can't speak or see

You're looking like a vegetable to me

[Chorus]

The darkness lives forever

Within your mind

[Verse 2]

Time rolls by and you never paid the cost

Without your mind your body, it's lost

Should we help relieve you of life?

Now's the time to help you

Haha, die

[Chorus]

The darkness lives forever

Within your mind

No dreams, no thoughts, it's only

Endless time

[Refrain]
