Playing Dead Lyrics by Midwestern Roadkill

Ellie’s Mixtape Vol 1

2022

[Intro]
J’ai grandi dans une ferme
Nous n’écrivions pas de poésie, nous ne faisions pas de musique, nous ne sculptions pas de statues, nous ne payions pas de tableaux
J’ai appris la technique des arts plastiques à travers la bibliothèque des livres de la prison. Je les enseigne en tant qu’à l’école
Je ne sais pas ce que tu sais, je sais seulement ce que tu es. Je pеux voir que tu souffres, je pеux voir que c’est difficile. Cela peut même se dégrader

[Verse 1]
Waking up to your nightmare
Past your curtains you will find
There's some starry little night
Flowers on your dress but you're gasping for a breath
So try the best you can
To inhale the pretty roses

(Cela peut même se dégrader, mais ensuite ça ira mieux tu verras
Tu vas comprendre tout tes problèmes.)

[Chorus]
So
Fall asleep, if you must
But promise me you'll wake me up
Honestly, I should have stopped
Asking you to knock it off
So follow me down to the dock (So row your boat and carry on)
And kick your shoes into the pond ('Cause life's a dream you can't wake up)

And kiss me like you're struggling for air
And kiss me like you're losing something dear
And kiss me like you're struggling for air
And kiss me like you're losing something dear

[Outro]
When you wake up
I'll tell you how it's been
When you wake up
You'll forget this in the en
