DNR Lyrics

I take sertraline with Red Bull

So maybe I can feel some start

When I'm out of bland distractions

I research DNR

I wonder if the doctor would even listen if I asked

Or would he send me to another mental hospital like the last

Thursday of last week, I saw a bird fall into a lake

It didn't try to move, I guess it just hoped the tide escaped

I hate to say it didn't, and I watched as its soul passed

When humans die it's a first for flying, the bird didn't get that

It's almost a 10 hour drive from here to Chicago, Illinois

I know I've got an old friend up there who remembers me as a boy

The man still sends me postcards, and I really should respond

I missed him in the second grade, I hope he knows I haven't forgot

I'll take all the doctor's pills if it means this goes away

If medicine can help me, at least it gets it off my plate

Cause I'm too depressed to better myself, and maybe that's why I'm depressed

Or maybe constant sadness is the only response to this

If I'm being honest, I don't want to be laid to rest

But I can't count the number of times I've considered faking my death

I guess that comes from ego, without that it wouldn't make much sense

I've just always wondered what I would sound like in past tense

I take sertraline with Red Bull

So maybe I can feel some start

When I'm out of bland distractions

I research DNR

The doctor wouldn't budge so maybe I shouldn't waste my breath

But the thought of someone fighting for my life hurts more than death

What if

All those years ago

I couldn't

Make it down

And what if

All those years ago

I let the music

Mellow out
