Playing Dead

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

No more excuses and no more playing dead

There are no silver linings in anything you said

If you keep on denying and I could stay away

We could hold up our hands, say we don't want it, we don't need it

If I give more than enough ground, will you claim it?

I will take it all in one breath and hold it down

And if I try to pretend that I don't hear it

You can tell me to move and I won't go

You can tell me to try and I won't go

If I give more than enough ground, will you leave it?

I will take it all in one breath and hold it down

And if I try to pretend that I don't see it

You can tell me to move and I won't go

You can tell me to try and I won't go

No more distractions and no more staying still

I am chasing the skyline much more than you ever will

You can keep to your story and I could stick to mine

We could hold up our hands, say we don't want it, we don't need it

If I give more than enough ground, will you claim it?

I will take it all in one breath and hold it down

And if I try to pretend that I don't hear it

You can tell me to move and I won't go

You can tell me to try and I won't go

If I give more than enough ground, will you leave it?

I will take it all in one breath and hold it down

And if I try to pretend that I don't see it

You can tell me to move and I won't go

You can tell me to try and I won't go

(Go-go-go-down-go-go...)

If I give more than enough ground, will you claim it?

I will take it all in one breath and hold it down

And if I try to pretend that I don't hear it

You can tell me to move and I won't go

You can tell me to try and I won't go

If I give more than enough ground, will you leave it?

I will take it all in one breath and hold it down

And if I try to pretend that I don't see it

You can tell me to move and I won't go

You can tell me to try and I won't go
