Play Dead - HIM

A moth into a butterfly and a lie into the sweetest truth

I’m so afraid of life

I try to call your name, but

I’m silenced by the fear of dying in your heart once again

I see the seasons changing

And in the heart of this autumn, I fall

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
