I Play Dead

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 To keep my self from… Bleeding I’ve got to find a way to stop before it starts Finding it’s way through my veins right to my heart I never thought it something everyone could see And it kills within me Bleeding I’ve got to find a way to stop before it starts Finding it’s way through my veins right to my heart I never thought it something everyone could see And it kills 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 it’s way through my veins right to my heart I never thought it something everyone could see And it kills within me Caving I’ve got to find a way to stop before it starts Finding it’s way through my veins right to my heart I never thought it something everyone could see And it kills I won’t I won’t leave without a trace I won’t be erased Turning, it’s moving, escaping right through me I care not, I bleed not, for you I believe not I play dead I won’t I won’t leave without a trace I won’t be erased
