Björk – I Play Dead
post-traumatic lyrics:
Darling, stop confusing me,
With your wishful thinking.
Hopeful embraces,
Dont 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.
I play dead,
It stops the hurting.
I play dead,
And the hurting stops.
Its sometimes just like sleeping,
Curling up inside my private tortures.
I nestle into pain,
Hug suffering,
Caress every ache
I play dead, it stops the hurting.
play dead is used in the soundtrack for the movie the young americans. the video was directed by danny cannon.
