Comatose
words and music by Dan Sheehan
from the album The Dan Sheehan Conspiracy

Sifting through the memory banks of some forgotten day
Trying to recover the thoughts lost along the way

'cause there's a message to be found
Beneath the ever-deaf'ning sound
Heard in the echoes of the halls
Masking the writing on the walls

Time keeps moving onward
Taking us places we don't know
Life keeps pushing forward
But life won't show us where to go
Life will make demands
But life won't show us what to do
Our hearts will place commands
But they won't see the orders through

Mesmerized by those who claim hell and Heaven are the same
Unimpressed by those who wait in the hell that they create
As we lie in comatose, feel the future coming close
The possibilities confined by the walls inside our minds

Driven by imagination unfueled by inspiration
Caught up in contemplation, or is it just hesitation?
Like creatures running blind looking for what we cannot find
And as we delve into our minds, we find our passions have resigned

Overwhelmed by those who claim hell and Heaven are the same...

And I can't see what you place in front of me
And I can't hear what you whisper in my ear

And in the valley of the night a thousand messengers take flight
A stimulation overdose awakes us from our comatose
