Play Dead

[Verse 1]

Took my heart a couple years ago

You took my heart, but you don't know where you left it

I got yours somewhere deep below

I was the keeper of the jewels, but I got kind of careless

And now the cracks are showin'

A chasm on the floor we pretend not to see, yeah

I know the pressure's on

We avoid it like the plague when staring at the ceiling

[Pre-Chorus]

We're just two cowards hiding from the fight

We let it kill us slowly every night, ah

[Chorus]

We play dead in the afternoon

Make sure the evenings are quiet too

In the mornings, get up quick and leave the tension in the room

'Cause if we don't talk

If we don't talk

It won't hurt like it's supposed to do

[Verse 2]

Ignorance is bliss

But I'd be more relaxed on a bed made of needles

Can't go on like this

When sleeping in her bed feels wrong, feels lethal

I don't wanna be the one

With blood on my hands

Can't stomach it either

It's a relentless dance

[Pre-Chorus]

We're just two cowards hiding from the fight

We let it kill us slowly every night, ah

[Chorus]

We play dead in the afternoon

Make sure the evenings are quiet too

In the mornings, get up quick and leave the tension in the room

'Cause if we don't talk

If we don't talk

It won't hurt like it's supposed to do

[Bridge]

The silence isn't golden

The silence isn't golden

The silence isn't golden

[Chorus]

We play dead in the afternoon

Make sure the evenings are quiet too

In the mornings, get up quick and leave the tension in the room

'Cause if we don't talk

If we don't talk

It won't hurt like it's supposed to do
