On “Pull the Plug”, backed by despairing guitar and explosive bass, Eric Vanlerberghe and Brian Burkheiser are close to giving up, conflicted between wanting to live and wanting to end.
[Intro: Eric Vanlerberghe]
Somebody, wake me up
[Verse 1: Brian Burkheiser & Eric Vanlerberghe]
Breathe in and breathe out, that's what I tell myself
When the voices inside say that I won't survive
When did I become so cold and so numb?
To the hope in my mind, to the fire drowning inside
[Chorus: Brian Burkheiser and Eric Vanlerberghe]
Wake me up, I'm seconds from the end
I'm dying to feel, I've been dying to live
Will somebody give me a sign so I know I'm alive?
It's time to wake me up or pull the plug
Somebody, wake me up
[Verse 1: Brian Burkheiser and Eric Vanlerberghe]
Am I better off dead, is it all in my head?
There's a snake in my mind spitting venom and lies
It runs through my veins, paralyzed by the pain
I'm at the end of my rope, as it's placed around my throat
[Chorus: Brian Burkheiser and Eric Vanlerberghe]
Wake me up, I'm seconds from the end
I'm dying to feel, I've been dying to live
Will somebody give me a sign so I know I'm alive?
It's time to wake me up or pull the plug
[Post-Chorus: Brian Burkheiser]
I can't wake up
[Bridge: Brian Burkheiser]
I've been screaming, but no words come out
You can't hear me, it's just silence now
Trapped in a nightmare with my eyes sewn shut
Is this what I've become? Somebody
[Chorus: Brian Burkheiser and Eric Vanlerberghe]
Wake me up, I'm seconds from the end
I'm dying to feel, I've been dying to live
Will somebody give me a sign so I know I'm alive?
It's time to wake me up or pull the plug
[Outro: Brian Burkheiser and Eric Vanlerberghe]
Pull the plug
Somebody, wake me up
