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.
A moth into a butterfly
And a lie in the sweetest truth
I'm so afraid of life
I try to call your name but i'm
Silenced by fear of dying
in your heart once again
I see the seasons changing
And in the heart of this autumn I fall
With the leaves from the trees
I play dead
To hide my heart
Until the world gone dark fades away
I cry
Like god cries the rain
And i'm just one step away
From the end of today
I see the reasons changing
and in the warmth of the past I crawl
Scorched by the shame
I play dead
To hide my heart
Until the world gone dark fades away
I stay dead
Until you veil my scars and say goodbye to fate
Before it's too late
Before it's too late
I play dead
To hide my heart
Until the world gone dark fades away
I stay dead
Until you veil my scars and say goodbye to fate
I play dead
To hide my heart
Until the world gone dark fades away
Before it's too late
