Play Dead Lyrics by Indiana

No Romeo

2015

My body's defeated
Why can't you see this?
I'm slipping away
My courage depleted
My heart stops beating

If I'm still, do you notice me
That I'm cold to the pain?
Short of breath, I take my release
Put to death by my game

And I'm so tired of seeing red, so I play dead
And I'm so wasted I can't take it, so I play dead
As I lay me down to sleep
As I lay me down
And I'm so tired of seeing red, so I play dead

At one with the darkness
A moment from heartless
I hear your voice
You kiss me, I flatline
Then you bring me to life

If I'm still, do you notice me
That I'm cold to the pain?
Short of breath, I take my release
Put to death by my game

And I'm so tired of seeing red, so I play dead
And I'm so wasted I can't take it, so I play dead
As I lay me down to sleep
As I lay me down
And I'm so tired of seeing red, so I play dead

Awaken me
From the silence that's in my head
Awaken me
Or should I lay here and just play dead?

And I'm so tired of seeing red, so I play dead
And I'm so wasted I can't take it, so I play dead
As I lay me down to sleep
As I lay me down
And I'm so tired of seeing red, so I play dead
