playing dead Lyrics by Ben Beal

Clumsy

2024

I think of you when my day bad
We would complain about day jobs
Stay at my crib when the rain bad
We would get wasted on days off
I was in school to learn nothing it's working I guess
Was high every second can barely get dressed
Pajamas in class getting faded for tests
Travel with you for hours the highlight of
My day (my day)
My week (my week)
Long nights (long nights)
No sleep (yeah)
I was too tired to figure it out
Now I’m all alone getting blitzed on the couch
Your ghost's still here chills in my house
Making me feel like you're still around

Make me feel alive again
Wait for me to come right back
I’m so sick of playing dead
Drawing hearts all over my cast

I think of you when there's snow on the ground in my city
It’s sinking in I should be smiling on stage
The symphony always had instruments missing
I sit in but I never learned how to play
Hopefully bliss will find me in time
Can't figure out shit when you're writing inside
But fuck it there's people who love me
So while you're out looking for yours I'm faded with mine
I'm good I'm great I hang by a thread
So nervous 'bout words that it hurts to my head
In search of a world I can build with my friends
I been here forever and still I pretend
Like everything good or great
Untangling threads they made of cement
The mess I made I’m breaking my Ben
For you I’d play dead again and again I guess

Make me feel alive again
Wait for me to come right back
I’m so sick of playing dead
Drawing hearts all over my cast
