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

Ah Ah Ah

I play dead

It stops the hurting

I play dead

And the hurt stops

It's sometimes just like sleeping

Curling up inside my private tortures

I nestle into pain

Hug suffering

Caress every ache

Ah Ah Ah

I play dead

It stops the hurting

I play dead

And the hurt stops

I play dead

It stops the hurting

I play dead

And the hurt stops
