Emergency
Surviving the Night: A Tale of Desperation and Broken Promises
Lyrics
It was one of those nights,
Describing a night with a significant event or crisis.
When you make twenty phone calls
Excessive phone calls made in desperation to stay alive.
Just to stay alive
Highlighting the urgency and intensity of the situation.
And you would talk to anyone, anyone
Willingness to talk to anyone who can provide insight or help.
Who would possibly
-Shed some light
-So I go to the hospital
Visiting a hospital seeking answers or solutions, but facing dismissal.
To look in to life support
-But they don't see a thing
-And hurrying me out the door
-Emergency, such a tragedy
Describing a dire situation with physical injuries and struggle to breathe.
My throat is cut and I'm badly bleeding
-My throat is cut and I'm badly bleeding
-Emergency, such a tragedy
-My lungs are crushed I'm barely breathing,
-My lungs are crushed I'm barely breathing
-And since we're both awake
Inviting a conversation about the past three years.
Lets sit up and talk about
-The last 3 years
-She said I guess lets drink this bottle like its medicine to our head
Considering using alcohol as a coping mechanism, expressing concern about promises.
And fall asleep we'll have headaches in the morning
-Oh I hope I don't overdoes
-On empty promises
-And beautiful pictures
Reflecting on missed opportunities and difficulties in coping.
Of the one I should've had
-I couldn't possibly deal with that
-Emergency, such a tragedy
Reiteration of a critical condition with emphasis on breathing difficulties.
My throat is cut and I'm badly bleeding
-My throat is cut and I'm badly bleeding
-Emergency, such a tragedy
-My lungs are crushed I'm barely breathing,
-My lungs are crushed I'm barely breathing
-Give me something,
Pleading for something, anything, to help get through the night.
Yeah give me anything,
-Just to get me through the night
-Just to get me through the night
-Somebody help me
Expressing a desperate need for assistance.
Emergency, such a tragedy
Repeating the description of a critical condition with emphasis on breathing.
My throat is cut and I'm badly bleeding
-My throat is cut and I'm badly bleeding
-Emergency, such a tragedy
-My lungs are crushed I'm barely breathing,
-My lungs are crushed I'm barely breathing
-Somebody help me,
Final plea for help in the emergency situation.
'Cause this is an emergency
