Play Dead

Play Dead
A moth into a butterfly
And a lie
Into the sweetest truth
I'm so afraid of life

With the leaves from the trees

I play dead
To hide my heart
Until the world gone dark fades away
I cry
Like God cries the rain
And I'm just one step away from the end of today
I see the reasons changing
And in the warmth of the past I crawl
Scorched by the shame
I play dead
To hide my heart
Until the world gone dark fades away
I stay dead
Until you veil my scars and say goodbye to fate
Before it's too late
