Play dead lyrics

darling stop confusing me

with your wishful thinking

hopeful embraces

don't you understand?

I have to go through this

I belong to here where

no one cares and no-one loves

no light no air to live in

a place called hate

the city of fear

I play dead

it stops the hurting

I play dead

and hurting stops

it's sometimes just like sleeping

curling up inside my private tortures

I nestle into pain

hug suffering

caress every ache

I play dead

it stops the hurting
