It was one of those nights,
When you make twenty phone calls
Just to stay alive

And you would talk to anyone, anyone
Who would possibly
Shed some light

So I go to the hospital
To look in to life support
But they don't see a thing
And hurrying me out the door

Emergency, such a tragedy
My throat is cut and I'm badly bleeding
My throat is cut and I'm badly bleeding
Emergency, such a tragedy
My lungs are crushed I'm barely breathing,
My lungs are crushed I'm barely breathing

And since we're both awake
Lets sit up and talk about
The last 3 years

She said I guess lets drink this bottle like its medicine to our head
And fall asleep we'll have headaches in the morning
Oh I hope I don't overdoes
On empty promises

And beautiful pictures
Of the one I should've had
I couldn't possibly deal with that

Emergency, such a tragedy
My throat is cut and I'm badly bleeding
My throat is cut and I'm badly bleeding
Emergency, such a tragedy

My lungs are crushed I'm barely breathing,
My lungs are crushed I'm barely breathing
Give me something,
Yeah give me anything,

Just to get me through the night
Just to get me through the night
Somebody help me

Emergency, such a tragedy
My throat is cut and I'm badly bleeding
My throat is cut and I'm badly bleeding
Emergency, such a tragedy
My lungs are crushed I'm barely breathing,
My lungs are crushed I'm barely breathing

Somebody help me,
'Cause this is an emergency

    General Comment:The intro lyrics really please me, but the rest are real weak. I don't think the song is that bad overall though.

    General Comment:my least favorite of the demo they released and my second least favorite off the full album. I was kinda angry that they kept all their demo tracks on the album.
