"Play Dead" lyrics

Took my heart a couple of years ago
You took my heart, but you don't know where you left it
I got yours somewhere deep below
I was the keeper of the jewels, but I got kind of careless
And now the cracks are shown
A chasm on the floor we pretend not to see
I know the pressure's on
We avoid it like the plague, when staring at the ceiling

We're just two cowards hiding from the fight
We let it kill us slowly every night
Ah ah

We play dead in the afternoon
Make sure the evenings are quiet too
In the mornings, get up quick and leave the tension in the room
'Cause if we don't talk
If we don't talk
It won't hurt like it's supposed to do

Ignorance is bliss
But I'd be more relaxed on the bed made of needles
Can't go on like this
When sleeping in her bed feels wrong, feels lethal
I don't want to be the one
With blood on my hands
Can't stomach it either
It's a relentless dance

We're just two cowards hiding from the fight
We let it kill us slowly every night
Ah ah

We play dead in the afternoon
Make sure the evenings are quiet too
In the mornings, get up quick and leave the tension in the room
'Cause if we don't talk
If we don't talk
It won't hurt like it's supposed to do

The silence isn't golden
The silence isn't golden
The silence isn't golden

We play dead in the afternoon
Make sure the evenings are quiet too
In the mornings, get up quick and leave the tension in the room
'Cause if we don't talk
If we don't talk
It won't hurt like it's supposed to do
