Play dead again, it just might stop before the end   If I pretend you may not see the pain I'm in   so close to me, can't tell what I'm supposed to be   Don't stop to breath, can't bear to think what you might see   This tourniquet, these blessed hands around my head   So I can keep from...      Bleeding   I've got to find a way to stop before it starts   Finding it's way through my veins right to my heart   I never thought it something everyone could see   And it kills within me      I won't, I won't leave without a trace   I won't be erased      It's in my head, I can't forget what you once said   The words I read, the fractured soul that I can't mend   Right here with me, killing the void I used to be    Remembering through fading sparks of memory   Two broken hands lift seven wounds and fight to stand   To keep the lungs from...      Caving   I've got to find a way to stop before it starts   Finding it's way through my veins right to my heart   I never thought it something everyone could see   And it kills within me      I won't, I won't leave without a trace   I won't be erased      Turning, it's moving, escaping right through me   I care not, I bleed not, for you I believe not   I play dead      I won't, I won't leave without a trace   I won't be erased
