My body's defeated
Why can't you see this?
I'm slipping away
My core is depleted
My heart stops beating
If I'm still do you notice me
That I'm cold to the pain?
Short of breath fighting my release
Put to death by my game
And I'm so tired of seeing red
So I'll play dead
And I'm so wasted I can't take it
So I'll play dead
As I lay me down to sleep
As I lay me down
I'm so tired of seeing it
So I'll play dead
That moment of darkness
A moment from heartless
I hear your voice
You kiss me of flat line
Then you put me alive
If I'm still do you notice me
That I'm cold to the pain?
Short of breath fighting my release
Put to death by my game
And I'm so tired of seeing red
So I'll play dead
And I'm so wasted I can't take it
So I'll play dead
As I lay me down to sleep
As I lay me down
I'm so tired of seeing it
So I'll play dead
I am made from this silence that's in my head
I am made
Why should I lay here and just play dead?
I'm so tired of seeing red
So I'll play dead
And I'm so wasted I can't take it
So I'll play dead
As I lay me down to sleep
As I lay me down
I'm so tired of seeing it
So I'll play dead
