Lyrics
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.
Forget it, that's just how i feel,
and i'm sick of this fucking talk.
You keep telling me that i'm wrong,
but for the first time, i'm sure.
For once i'm loving every second,
and i'm not looking back.
Everyone has their own reasons to be happy.
This is not an excuse to act defiant,
i'm finally choosing my own path,
and i'm finally finding peace.
And everyone should feel this way,
but since they don't, that's why this world is fucked.
And i'm sick of always plaing dead to fit in with the rest. Everyone should have their own ideas for the better,
but not act defiant, to choose and make your own path,
to find your inner peace.
Keep telling me that i'm not the same,
keep ranting on about how i've changed,
this i'll decide for myseelf.
I'm the same kid i've always been,
outlook on life is all that's changed,
still i will be here until the end,
my heart will stay, my heart remains.
