Do Not Resucitate
Sorry I missed your call
I can't come to the phone right now
Don't bother with a message
I'm staying on the floor for now
At least until I'm found
If they have time to reach the narcan
If they know cpr
If anyone comes for me
Though I'll probably steal their car
Just to say thanks for saving me
Because no one lies here turning blue
Because life's going right
No one ODs on heroin
Solely to get high
And no one shoots up heroin
Because they wanna live through the night
At least that's what dozens of dead friends said
And what I tell the EMTs
Do Not Resucitate me
Do Not Resucitate me
I signed a goddamn form so you could let me die
Don't Resucitate me
Don't Resucitate me
I'm pretty mad now about the wasted high
Do Not Resucitate me
Do Not Resucitate me
I'll never forgive you for saving my life
It's been a long road from the moment I bought
The only thing I never wanted
Since that day of my birth
Each bad day's been followed by one that is worse
And I'm beginning to think I'm haunted
So don't waste narcan or tears on me
And don't call E-M-S for me
I'm sorry I'm not answering the phone
But nobody's who I wanna see
Leave me alone to my misery
Just let it be the end for me
Do Not Resucitate me
Do Not Resucitate me
No one overdoses accidentally
Do Not Resucitate me
Do Not Resucitate me
If you're really my friend you will just let me be
Do Not Resucitate me
Do Not Resucitate me
Please DoN't Resucitate me
Because this life isn't something I wanted
Or anything I wanna keep-
I can't come to the phone right now
Don't bother with a message
I'm staying on the floor for now
At least until I'm found
If they have time to reach the narcan
If they know cpr
If anyone comes for me
Though I'll probably steal their car
Just to say thanks for saving me
Because no one lies here turning blue
Because life's going right
