I Play Dead

[Verse 1]
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…

[Pre-Chorus]
Bleeding
I’ve got to find a way to stop it before it hurts
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 it before it hurts
Finding it’s way through my veins right to my heart
I never thought it something everyone could see
And it kills

[Chorus]
I won’t
I won’t leave without a trace
I won’t be erased
I won’t
I won’t leave without a trace
I won’t be erased

[Verse 2]
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…

[Pre-Chorus]
Caving
I’ve got to find a way to stop it before it hurts
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 it before it hurts
Finding it’s way through my veins right to my heart
I never thought it something everyone could see
And it kills

[Chorus]
I won’t
I won’t leave without a trace
I won’t be erased
I won’t
I won’t leave without a trace
I won’t be erased

[Bridge]
Turning, it’s moving, escaping right through me
I care not, I bleed not, for you I believe not
I play dead

[Chorus]
I won’t
I won’t leave without a trace
I won’t be erased
I won’t
I won’t leave without a trace
I won’t be erased
