I Play Dead

I 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 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 within me

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

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 within me

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

Turning it's moving escaping right through me
I care not I bleed not for you I believe not

I play dead, I play dead
I play dead, I play dead

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

I won't
I won't
