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 there, "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 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

Help me

Okay, let's get this guy in the program please, we're losing him (start an IV, please)

Help me

Someone's got to protect his airways (where's the defibrillator?)

Two IV's over here, please. That's two more now (let's go)

We'll lose this guy

Help me

Slow-motion here. This guy's going

Let's get him in ER (it's going out on us)

Who's got the defibrillator?

Please, understand me

I'm climbin' through the wreckage 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 fighting'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

I know

Okay, we're starting to lose this guy. I want that IV and his airway protected

Let's get some people in here

Get the crash cart please, we're losing this guy

Give me an airway, please (what's going on here?)

Clear

Zap him again

How about an IV, stat?

Okay, you better protect the airway, you're starting to lose him (clear)

Zap the son of a bitch again

Listen to me, Axl, are you listening to me?

No, don't walk away from me

You are such a fucking prick, I am so pissed with you

All I hear is bullshit, all the time

All you ever wanna do is have sex, sex, sex

I just don't give a shit anymore

I love you

You live your life like it's a coma, 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

Maybe 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 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 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 but 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

And 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
