Lyrics
Play 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.
You´re the killer and the victim
you ain´t got no alibi and you cannot escape
you´re just another person
sending out the invitation to your funeral
here´s to the end, to giving up and giving in
you did it all to yourself
start at the end, wash the blood from your hands
and start it all over again
once again
spit into the wishing well
save the coins for the drinks in hell
you gotta play the hand your dealt
or just roll over and play dead
you need a resolution
you´re only fighting symptoms not the disease
so break the cages that surround you
and admit to yourself that you can´t find your peace
so wash the blood from your hands and do it
again, again
start it all over again and then
start at the end
spit into the wishing well
save the coins for the drinks in hell
everybody, place your bets
will you roll over and play dead?
