[Intro]
Hey, you caught me in a coma
And I don't think I wannna
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
[Verse 1]
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 calling
My body's calling:
"Won't you 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 sailing
I've gone sailing
I could leave so easily
My friends are calling back to me
I said they're
They're leavin' it all up to me
When all I needed was clarity, and
Someone to tell me
What the f** is going on
Goddamn it
[Bridge]
Slipping 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 sh**
Help me
"Okay, let's get this guy in the program please, we're losing him." "Start an IV Please."
Help Me
"Come on... His airways.. someone's got to protect his airways. I want two..."
"Where's the defibrillator?"
"Two IV's over here please. That's two more now. We're losing him"
"Let's go"
Help Me
"Slow motion here. This guy's going..."
ba*tard
"Let's get him in ER"
"...Going out on us"
"Who's got the defibrillator?"
Please understand me
[Verse 2]
I'm climbing through the wreckage
Of all my twisted dreams
But 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?
[Breakdown]
No one's going to bother me anymore
No one's going to 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
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. He's going..." "Give me an airway please"
"... Going under."
"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 b**h again
"Listen to me"
"Axl, are you listening to me?"
"Don't walk away from me!"
'You are such a f**ing prick, I am so pissed with you"
"Get back over here!"
"All I hear is bullsh**, all the time"
"All you ever wanna do is have s**, s** s**"
"I just don't give a sh** anymore"
"I love you"
[Verse 3]
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
Got a one way ticket
To your suicide
Got a one way ticket
And there's no way out alive
An' all this cra** 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 calling in the morning
They be hanging on the phone
They be waiting for an answer
But you know nobody's home
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 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
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 sh** 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
