Play Dead Lyrics by MAX RAD

2019

[Intro]
Ahhh, I can't take it anymore. There's just too much pressure... It's making me down, I'm constantly down all the time. Okay, well, it's fairly simple. You're... the brain governs the body and... it's serotonin in your mind and your brain...

[Chorus]
I wanna win but the world is so cold
What have I got to do now?
Kicking and screaming my way to the door
Like nobody here would know how
Crushing up bones in the heart of your hold
How do I give you the slip?
If I play dead, will you loosen your grip?
If I play dead, will you loosen it?

[Verse 1]
Something's changed in me
I don't wanna leave, I don't wanna leave
'Cause if I hide, you'll seek
You'll know where I'll be, you'll know where I'll be

[Pre-Chorus]
Play no losing games
Tired of waiting but I feel no shame
It's just somethin' about you
Somethin' about you, it's kinda strange
There's no way, there's no way

[Chorus]
I wanna win but the world is so cold
What have I got to do now?
Kicking and screaming my way to the door
Like nobody here would know how
Crushing up bones in the heart of your hold
How do I give you the slip?
If I play dead, will you loosen your grip?
If I play dead, will you loosen it?

[Verse 2]
Hands like green cement
There's an end, there's an end
Smothered in his hands
Beginning to hold, beginning to hold

[Pre-Chorus]
Play no losing games
Tired of waiting but I feel no shame
It's just somethin' about you
Somethin' about you, it's kinda strange
There's no way, there's no way

[Bridge]
Ahhh, I can't take it anymore. There's just too much pressure... It's making me down, I'm constantly down all the time. Okay, well, it's fairly simple. You know, your... the brain governs the body and... it's serotonin in your mind and your brain...

[Chorus]
I wanna win but the world is so cold
What have I got to do now?
Kicking and screaming my way to the door
Like nobody here would know how
Crushing up bones in the heart of your hold
How do I give you the slip?
If I play dead, will you loosen your grip?
If I play dead, will you loosen it?

[Outro]
If I play dead, will you loosen your grip?
If I play dead, will you loosen it?
If I play dead, will you loosen your grip?
If I play dead, will you loosen it?
