Coma lyrics

See you've caught me in a coma

And I don't think I want to

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 the pressure

And I like it this way

But my body's calling, my body's calling

Want me to come back to this

World again

Suspended deep in a sea of black

I got the light at the end

I got the bones on the mast

Well, I've gone sailing, I've gone sailing

I could leave so easily

My friends are calling back to me

I said yeah,

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

Goddammit

Slippin' farther and 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

Please understand me

I'm climbin' through the wreckage

Of all my twisted dreams

And this cheap investigation

Just can't stifle all my screams

And I'm waiting

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 its fine with me

Not like the world where I used to live

I never really wanted to live...

Live your life like it's a coma

Won't you tell me why we'd want to

With all the reasons you give

It's kinda hard to believe

But who am I to tell you that I've seen any reason

Why you should stay

Maybe we'd be better off without you anyway

I got a one way ticket on your last chance ride

Got a one way ticket to your suicide

Got a one way ticket and there's no way out alive

And all this crass communication that has left you in the cold

Isn't much for consolation when you feel so weak and old

But if 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'll be down by the water

While you watch 'em wavin' goodbye

They'll be callin' in the morning

They'll be hanging on the phone

They'll be waitin' for an answer

But you know nobody's home

And when the bells stop ringing

It was nobody's fault but your own

There were always ample warning

There were always subtle signs

And you would have seen them coming

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

And it's so easy to be social

It's so easy to be cool

Yeah, its easy to get 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 those broken memories

That another man would need

Just to survive
