No Sunrise

Melancholic piano — Slow — C Major
by Matthew P. Haubert

Verse 1

Hey… I know it’s late,
but I finally found the strength
to take my life away.
Hey… I know it’s late,
and I’m not doing okay—
you always hate when I call you anyway.

---

Bridge 1

But this time
I really made sure I would die.
I guess I hoped you’d pick up—
maybe you’d save my life.
A little hope was all I wanted…
now I’m just gasping for air.

---

Verse 2

But hey… we both know
straight to “ignore” my calls will go.
I’m only writing this song
because I’m scared of dying alone—
and it’s sad, but you’re the only one
I ever think to phone.

---

Chorus

Why don’t people take
a second from their day?
You never know
if it’s a suicide like me
you might save.

---

Verse 3

But hey… guess what—
you didn’t answer your phone.
It’s okay.
The heroin’s kicking in,
my vision’s slipping thin,
and my legs are gone.

So don’t worry,
as I lay forever down—
you’ll never get another call,
never get the chance
to ignore me at all.

---

Ending Chorus

So goodbye…
I’m not using Narcan this time.
Goodbye…
I’m not using Narcan this time.
