I Play Dead Lyrics

I Play Dead lyrics

Play dead again. It just might stop before the end.

If I pretend you may
not see the pain I'm in.

So close to me, can't tell what I'm supposed to
be.

Don't stop to breathe, can't bear to think what you might see.

This tourniquet, these blessed hands around my head

So I can keep
from...

 

Bleeding.

I've got to find a way to stop before it
starts.

Finding its way through my veins right to my heart.

I never
thought it something everyone could see.

And it kills within me.



CHORUS:

I won't, I won't leave without a trace.

I won't be
erased.

 

It's in my head, I can't forget what you once said.

The words I read, the fractured soul that I can't mend.

Right here
with me, killing the void I used to be.

Remembering through fading sparks
of memory.

Two broken hands lift seven wounds and fight to stand

To
keep the lungs from..

 

Caving.

I've got to find a way to
stop before it starts.

Finding its way through my veins right to my
heart.

I never thought it something everyone could see.

And it
kills within me.

 

(CHORUS)

 

Turning. It's moving.
Escaping right through me.

I care not. I bleed not. For you I believe
not.

I play dead.
