I Just Need An Aspirin, Not An EMT
You're like a lighthouse
Signalling to me
As I drown out here
In the deep blue sea
You're like the seat belt
Holding me in place
As the cars collide
And glass cuts my face
You're the oxygen
As I suffocate
Flooding through my lungs
Pushing death away
You're the only one
Who pulls me from the brink
You keep me afloat
When I begin to sink
Into these thoughts
Of me dying
You're the reason
That I'm trying
To survive
You're like a doctor
Jumping my stopped heart
As I start to fade
and I drift apart
You're like the siren
Shaking me from sleep
As the fire burns
Flames devouring deep
You're the helping hand
As I start to slip
Catching at my arms
When I lose my grip
You're the only one
Who pulls me from the brink
You keep me afloat
When I begin to sink
Into these thoughts
Of me dying
You're the reason
That I'm trying
To survive
