Pull the Plug

In a bedroom

dark and blurry

full of noises he hears
always.

Vegetable man, alone in the can-

nothing but the water at your feet,

but I can see you

plugged in and passed out

living in strange dreams.

(and) If I pull the plug

will you smile?

(and) If I pull the plug

will you feel relief?

You're a dead man,

stained man,

barely conscious thing.

To kill a dead man 

is not so hard a thing.

So pull the plug,

Pull the plug,

end the dream

and pull the plug.

You're a shadow man

tired man

let me help you sleep.  

To kill a dead man 

is not so hard a thing.

You're not the same.

That's where the pain begins,

but if I pull the plug,
will you feel relief?
and if I pull the plug,
will you smile?
