Play Dead

Darling, stop confusing me,

With your wishful thinking.

Hopeful embraces,

Don't you understand?

I have to go through this,

I belong to here where no-one cares,

And no-one loves.

No light no air to live in,

A place called hate,

The city of fear.



I play dead,

It stops the hurting.

I play dead,

And the hurting stops.



It's sometimes just like sleeping,

Curling up inside my private tortures.

I nestle into pain,

Hug suffering,

Caress every ache



I play dead, it stops the hurting.
