**[Verse 1]**
I stared at the ceiling.
A nurse came to reposition my body.
I gazed out the window.
Another nurse came to change my position.
I looked at a wall.
Today was over.
**[Pre-Chorus 1]**
I was alive, but I couldn’t do anything.
**[Chorus 1]**
I’m not dead, but I feel like a corpse.
I can’t even press the nurse call button.
I’m at the mercy of the nurses.
I was like a living doll.
**[Verse 2]**
My plasma has been replaced.
The female doctor said, “Your Guillain-Barré syndrome has been cured.
However, the motor nerves that have stopped functioning will not return to normal immediately.”
Time passed.
**[Pre-Chorus 2]**
I underwent rehabilitation training. I couldn’t move my neck, legs, or arms. I was in tears.
**[Chorus 2]**
I’m not dead, but I feel like a corpse.
I can’t even press the nurse call button.
I’m at the mercy of the nurses.
I was like a living doll.
**[Instrumental Solo]**
**[Verse 3]**
My wife visited me every day,
telling me funny stories and helping me move.
No matter how funny the stories were,
I couldn’t laugh; I could only nod along.
My body moved like Pinocchio.
**[Pre-Chorus 3]**
The summer days when I chased after you across the sandy beach are now a distant memory.
**[Chorus 3]**
I’m not dead, but I feel like a corpse.
I can’t even press the nurse call button.
I’m at the mercy of the nurses.
I was like a living doll.
**[Bridge]**
The world was moving, but I remained motionless.
**[Final Chorus]**
I’m not dead, but I feel like a corpse.
I can’t even press the nurse call button.
I’m at the mercy of the nurses.
I was like a living doll.
