Comatose Lyrics - Singles - Enchant

[Music & lyrics - D. Ott] 

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
