OD’d in Denver

Empty glass

Shaking hands

City spinning

Can’t stand

Bathroom mirror

Eyes too wide

Someone laughing

I’m tongue-tied

Passed the limit

Didn’t care

Every heartbeat

Cold glare

Strobe in my veins

Pulse in my teeth

Floor falling out

From under my feet

Your voice in the dark

A flickering ember

“Stay with me

Stay with me

Remember”

I OD’d in Denver

On a night that wouldn’t end

Lost my name

Lost my number

Nearly lost you

My only friend

If I wake up tomorrow

I swear I’ll hold on better

But tonight I surrendered

I OD’d in Denver

Paramedics

Flashing red

Questions floating

Heavy head

Club wristband

Crushed in fist

All my chances

On that list

Breath in the cold

Steam in the air

You kept calling

Pulled me from there

Your hand on my chest

Counting each measure

“Stay with me

Stay with me

Remember”

I OD’d in Denver

[whispered vocals] Too far

Too far

Too long

Too long

[full voice] If I get one more sunrise

I’ll write your name across the dawn

[build

Crowd chant] One more chance

One more try

Hands up high

We won’t die tonight

I OD’d in Denver
