Comatose - live

A face with no emotion
 Lost in the television's glow
 He's slipping into darkness
 Not far from comatose
 With a bottle in his left hand
 A cigarette in his right
 He's drowning out the echo
 Of voices in the night
 Through the conversation
 The old me drifts away
 Hiding from the moment
 I long for yesterday
 I hear your voice so distant
 Calling out my name
 If only I could answer
 If we were still the same...
 Oh, but we've changed
 So what am I supposed to do
 And what am I to say?
 I feel a bit more paralyzed
 With every word you say
 And what about the change you want
 How can I succumb?
 When everything you want to do
 Leaves me awfully numb
 Awfully numb
 Stay for a moment
 Stay for while
 Join in on this masquerade
 Filled with regret and denial
 We are kindred spirits,
 Though parallel lines
 Running off in different directions
 Never to entwine
 No way to rewind
 We can't turn back time
 So we avoid the subject
 Our communication strained
 Sheltered in the small talk
 We wait for the other to change
 But the song remains the same...
 So what am I supposed to do
 And what am I to say?
 I feel a bit more paralyzed
 With every word you say
 And what about the change you want
 How can I succumb
 When everything you want to do
 Leaves me awfully numb
 Awfully numb
 A face with no emotion
 Lost in the television's glow
 He's slipping into darkness
 Not far from comatose
