Coma
Hey you caught me in a coma
And I don't think I
wanna
Ever come back to this...world again
Kinda like it in a
coma
'Cause no one's ever gonna
Oh, make me come back to
this...
world again
Now I feel as if I'm floating away
I can't
feel all the pressure
And I like it this way
But my body's callin'
My
body's callin'
Won't ya come back to this...
world
again
Suspended deep in a sea of black
I've got the light at the
end
I've got the bones on the mast
Well I've gone sailin',
I've gone
sailin'
I could leave so easily
While friends are calling back to me
I
said they're
They're leaving it all up to me
When all I needed was
clarity
And someone to tell me
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON
GODDAMN
IT!
Slippin' farther an farther away
It's a miracle how long we can
stay
In a world our minds created
In a world that's full of
shit
HELP ME
HELP ME
HELP ME
HELP ME
BASTARD
Please
understand me
I'm climbin' through the wreackage
Of all my twisted
dreams
But this cheap investigation just Can't stifle all my screams
And
I'm waitin' at the crossroads
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
WHERE ARE
YOU
No one's gonna bother me anymore
No one's gonna mess with my head
no more
I can't understand what all the fightin's for
But it's so nice
here down off the shore
I wish you could see this
'Cause there's nothing
to see
It's peaceful here and it's fine with me
Not like the world where I
used to live
I NEVER REALLY WANTED TO LIVE
ZAP HIM AGAIN
ZAP THE
SON OF A BITCH AGAIN
Ya live your life like it's a coma
So won't you
tell me why we'd wanna
With all the reasons you give it's
It's kinda hard
to believe
But who am I to tell you that I've Seen any reason why you should
stay
Matbe we'd be better off
Without you anyway
You got a one way
ticket
On your last chance ride
Gotta one way ticket
To your
suicide
Gotta one way ticket
An there's no way out alive
An all this
crass communication
That has left you in the cold
Isn't much for
consolation
When you feel so weak and old
But is home is where the heart
is
Then there's stories to be told
No you don't need a doctor
No one
else can heal your soul
Got your mind in submission
Got your life on
the line
But nobody pulled the trigger
They just stepped aside
They be
down by the water
While you watch 'em waving goodbye
They be callin' in
the morning
They be hangin' on the phone
They be waiting for an
answer
When you know nobody's home
And when the bell's stopped
ringing
It was nobody's fault but your own
There were always ample
warnings
There were always subtle signs
And you would have seen it
comin'
But we gave you too much time
And when you said
That no one's
listening
Why'd your best friend drop a dime
Sometimes we get so tired of
waiting
For a way to spend our time
An "It's so easy" to be
social
"It's so easy" to be cool
Yeah it's easy to be hungry
When you
ain't got shit to lose
And I wish that I could help you
With what you hope
to find
But I'm still out here waiting
Watching reruns of my life
When
you reach the point of breaking
Know it's gonna take some time
To heal the
broken memories
That another man would need
Just to survive
