Lyrics
A life lived, and sickness takes it away so cruel and callously
The body strong, but mind decays and lacks emotion
Every memory erased, the good and bad alike
Existing on the edge of life and death
Hollow inside, barely alive, laying in bed
There’s nothing to be done, they say
Maybe today, perhaps tomorrow life will slip away
It’s terminal ... terminal
What does one do to deserve such suffering
What kind of god is so cold-blooded, sadistic, and inhumane
Confined to a world between the living and the grave
Languishing unconsciousness
To darkness enslaved
There’s nothing to be done, they say
Maybe today, perhaps tomorrow life will slip away
Terminal Lucidity, Terminal Lucidity
Suddenly the eyes are open looking around they’re focusing
Speech returns and recognition, present once again
See how the clouds have parted, it seems astonishing
The person that was once known is returning
This is a miracle, they say
Maybe today, perhaps tomorrow things will be okay
Terminal Lucidity, Terminal Lucidity
But it’s only temporary...
Heaving chest, gasping for breath
Back into this cage of flesh
Hands reach out, grasping at hallucinations
Soon they fall, and rest in perfect still
The body strong, but mind decays and lacks emotion
Every memory erased, the good and bad alike
Existing on the edge of life and death
Hollow inside, barely alive, laying in bed
There’s nothing to be done, they say
Maybe today, perhaps tomorrow life will slip away
It’s terminal ... terminal
What does one do to deserve such suffering
What kind of god is so cold-blooded, sadistic, and inhumane
Confined to a world between the living and the grave
Languishing unconsciousness
To darkness enslaved
There’s nothing to be done, they say
Maybe today, perhaps tomorrow life will slip away
Terminal Lucidity, Terminal Lucidity
Suddenly the eyes are open looking around they’re focusing
Speech returns and recognition, present once again
See how the clouds have parted, it seems astonishing
The person that was once known is returning
This is a miracle, they say
Maybe today, perhaps tomorrow things will be okay
Terminal Lucidity, Terminal Lucidity
But it’s only temporary...
Heaving chest, gasping for breath
Back into this cage of flesh
Hands reach out, grasping at hallucinations
Soon they fall, and rest in perfect still
