Playing Dumb
Circling Misery: Seeking Redemption in Subvertigo's 'Playing Dumb'
Lyrics
Give a chance, lesson learned
Opportunity given, a lesson understood
Getting well is not enough
Recovering isn't sufficient
Fool myself, let you in
Deceived myself, allowed you into my life
Message clear and getting rough
The message is evident and becoming harsh
Wait, it's hard to be this way again
Pause, it's difficult to return to this state
Walking in circles playing dumb
Repeating the same actions, pretending ignorance
I've seen this movie and how it ends
I've experienced this scenario and its outcome
It's miserable
It's distressing
Paid the dues, fell in line
Met obligations, followed the rules
Found the price was too high
Realized the cost was too high
Fell asleep at the wheel
Lost focus, made a grave mistake
So much for a time to heal
No chance for a period of recovery
Tell me more lies
Requesting more false information
Stop, it's hard to be this way again
Pause, it's challenging to return to this state
Walking in circles playing dumb
Repeating the same actions, pretending ignorance
I've seen this movie and how it ends
I've experienced this scenario and its outcome
It's miserable
It's distressing
Gone, it seems too easy to forget
Vanished, appears too effortless to erase from memory
Suppressed until there's nothing left
Contained until there's nothing remaining
I've seen this movie and how it ends
I've experienced this scenario and its outcome
It's miserable
It's distressing
Oh to be alive
Expressing the desire to live
Find some peace when I don't have the answers
Finding tranquility without having solutions
Hope to God and pray I don't stay this way
Wishing and praying not to remain in this condition
Oh to be in love
Expressing the desire to experience love
Grasp in vain to all the broken pieces
Attempting to hold onto shattered fragments
Hope to God and pray this all goes away
Wishing and praying for all this to disappear
