“Ya live your life like it's a comaSo won't you tell me why we'd wannaWith all the reasons you give it'sIt's kinda hard to believeBut who am I to tell you that I've Seen any reason why you should stayMatbe we'd be better offWithout you anywayYou got a one way ticketOn your last chance rideGotta one way ticketTo your suicideGotta one way ticketAn there's no way out aliveAn all this crass communicationThat has left you in the coldIsn't much for consolationWhen you feel so weak and oldBut is home is where the heart isThen there's stories to be toldNo you don't need a doctorNo one else can heal your soulGot your mind in submissionGot your life on the lineBut nobody pulled the triggerThey just stepped asideThey be down by the waterWhile you watch 'em waving goodbyeThey be callin' in the morningThey be hangin' on the phoneThey be waiting for an answerWhen you know nobody's homeAnd when the bell's stopped ringingIt was nobody's fault but your ownThere were always ample warningsThere were always subtle signsAnd you would have seen it comin'But we gave you too much timeAnd when you saidThat no one's listeningWhy'd your best friend drop a dimeSometimes we get so tired of waitingFor a way to spend our timeAn "It's so easy" to be social"It's so easy" to be coolYeah it's easy to be hungryWhen you ain't got shit to loseAnd I wish that I could help youWith what you hope to findBut I'm still out here waitingWatching reruns of my lifeWhen you reach the point of breakingKnow it's gonna take some timeTo heal the broken memoriesThat another man would needJust to surviveGuns N’ Roses, “Coma” (1991)”

“I'm not saying it's going to be easy. Nothing in life is easy. But that's no reason to give up. You'll be surprised what you can accomplish if you set your mind to it. After all, you only have one life, so you should try to make the most of it.”

“The way I see it, you have to take every chance you get because there may not be another one. You have to learn from your mistakes because nobody's perfect. You have to laugh, love & live every day as if it's your last.”

“You take a deep breath and you walk through the doors. It's the morning of your very first day. You say hi to your friends you ain't seen in a while, try and stay out of everybody's way. It's your freshman year and your gonna be here for the next four years in this town. Hopin' one of those senior boys will wink at you and say, "You know I haven't seen you around before." 'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you, you're gonna believe them. And when you're fifteen, feelin' like there's nothin' to figure out, but, count to ten, take it in. This is life before you know who you're gonna be. Fifteen.”

“When we reached home your cheeks were like roses, and your eyes were shining like stars, and you tried to tell Mummy so much in one breath that I thought you would burst.”

“So where are they now? Your friends, I mean? You're always telling me about your friends and how you would do anything for them because they are your friends and how in return, they would die for you. I didn't believe it then and I'm not believing it now. All of your friends have gone. The good people, YOUR people, that's what you would call them. It was hard to keep from laughing in your face when you talked like that. I always wondered if that's what you thought I was to you, if I was one of YOUR people. You're so full of shit and now it's even too deep for you to deal with. The truth is that you don't have any friends, not now, not ever. You think you're with someone and then you find that you're just alone in a room with a stranger. You spent so much time running away from yourself, fulfilling imaginary duties to your friends, that you don't even know who you are. When the shit comes down, you can't even count on yourself. Isn't that a shame. Get ready for one of the longest nights ever.”
