Sentinel Events - Do Not Resuscitate Lyrics

Apply pads to patient's bare chest
Plug in pads connector next to flashing light
Analyzing heart rhythm
Shock advised
Do not touch the patient
I'd give almost anything
To hear your voice
Tell me those things again
Silent on a telephone
I'm lost for words
But I hear you breathing
My pleads fall on deafened ears
As I reach out for phantom limbs
You are just my ghost
The reason I can't sleep at night
I tuck my chin into my chest
Just praying for the best
But I know it's all behind us
So I lay it down to rest
When our love turns into hate
Do not resuscitate
Or bring it back to life
Just trying to survive
The soul crushing pain that remains
I'd give almost most anything
To run it back
And do it all over again
You were my sacrament
The eucharist
That I could not digest
Like a jagged little pill
You cut me deep inside
Addicted to memories
Withdrawing from the lies
I make my hand into my fist
Just trying to resist
That overwhelming urge
To sit and reminisce
And ruminate the memories
I desperately erase
I am cutting off my nose now
Just to spite my face
But that phantom pain remains
On the bed there's still a stain
Where my lifeless body laid
When our love died silently
Stay clear of patient
Deliver shock now
Shock delivered
Begin CPR
I press my palms against your chest
Just trying to compress
That fragile ailing heart
But I know there's nothing left
When our love turns into hate
Do not resuscitate
Or bring it back to life
Just let it slowly die
Let it slowly die
Let it slowly die
And rest in everlasting peace
