Marianas Trench - Playing Dead Lyrics






Teach me how to be real and,
Show me how to understand,
Don't let me swallow.

Whats it like to be alive?
Where do all those good things hide?
Toss me a line.

Don't pick me up off the ground,
I'll be fine in a lost and found.
Just when I start to force a smile,
Just when I'm laughing all the while,
I've been faking it.

Playing Dead

And I would wrap myself in stitches
If you'd wrap yourself in me.
And I would wrap myself in blue.
You could be the sunshine and
I could be the choice at hand
Yeah you'd be so in demand

Don't pick me up off the ground,
I'll be fine in a lost and found.
Just when I start to force a smile,
Just when I'm laughing all the while,
I've been faking it.

(oooooooooo ahhh ahhhh)
Ba [x24]

I could be the turpentine.
I could be the licorice.
I could be the winning one.
I could be the parting gift.

Don't pick me up off the ground,
I'll be fine in a lost and found.
Just when I start to force a smile,
Just when I'm laughing all the while,
I've been faking it.

Playing Dead

But its all been just for pretend,
Maybe you can pretend,
To bring me to life again,
Sometime.

    I will not publish the song and give it to other people, I just want to keep it for me.

    Thanks :)

    M.... L....

    Myriam Lefebvre (hey I'm kinda late lmao) but Hideous and Still Angry were Ramsay Fiction songs and they're online. sadly, I haven't found any other Ramsay Fiction songs other tha those three and this one :/

  14. J.... L....

    why do I do these things 2 myse;f

    J.... L....

    I fr cried listened to this for multiple reasons one of them is cuz the vocals is so calming tbvfh

  15. G.... X....

    wow. the old josh! the old band whoa boys you've come a long way!

  16. A.... D....

    AWE MEEE

  17. A.... B....

    glad he started the new band but still a million pecent better then Philip Drake like wtf is that shit

  18. K.... M....

    Cool song i like it a lot

  19. E.... C....

    Josh's voice has changed sooo much

  20. O.... G....

    You can tell it's Josh <3
    But his voice has evolved so much!

  21. d.... ....

    I honestly don't think that the band would mind if people leaked the songs. Its all history, right? It will probably happen sooner or later when Marianas Trench becomes popular worldwide.

  22. m.... ....

    I mean, the band probably wouldn't like it if some fans leaked Ramsay Fiction songs, but they are so goooood! I would love to hear more of their stuff!

  23. d.... ....

    Yes! I love them! I probably like them more then Marianas Trench songs. Some people actually HAVE the Cooler Than Me album and it frustrates me that they won't leak it!

  24. m.... ....

    Daaaang! Ramsay Fiction songs are so... Secretive. It sucks!

  25. d.... ....

    Someone leaked Cooler Than Me but I can't find it anywhere.

  26. m.... ....

    Playing Dead and Shallow are the only ones that can be found because they were leaked. Others, like Shotgun and Don't Touch Me, can't be found anywhere (believe me, I've looked). Which sucks, 'cause I love these guys.

  27. V.... V....

    uhm do you know his other songs apart from playing dead and shallow.. apparently another one is shotgun? but i can't find them anywhere..do you have any others?

  28. L.... F....

    <3 so amazing!!!!

  29. J.... B....

    My new favourite song <3

  30. T.... ....

    Awesome vid love the backgrounddd <333 plus this song rocks so, yeahh :D
