[Verso 1]
Darling, stop confusing me
With your wishful thinking
Hopeful embraces
Don't you understand?
I have to go through this
I belong to here where
No one cares, and no one loves
No light no air to live in
A place called hate
The city of fear
[Coro 1]
I play dead
It stops the hurting
I play dead
And the hurt stops
[Verso 2]
It's sometimes just like sleeping
Curling up inside my private tortures
I nestle into pain
Hug suffering
Caress every ache
[Coro 2]
I play dead
It stops the hurting
I play dead
It stops the hurting
I play dead
It stops the hurting
I play dead
It stops the hurting
I play dead
It stops the hurting
