Dead, Awake?

Dead or Awake

You know I am wondering...

Isn't it better to lay down your arms? 

lay down, like a dog playing dead

Just let things happen

Just let it all in and play dead

Even if it hurts, accept them

and play dead. 

keep playing dead.

 But now, the problem lies here...

When you lie low and play dead, 

you're being poked awake.

and when you're awake, 

you're charged for being awake.

Then my question is...

You do not want me awake, 

I play dead.

and when I play dead,

You poke me awake,

For you do not want me dead.

and when I'm awake,

you charge me for being awake

why?

What do you want?

Dead or awake?

You have to choose one

Dead or awake?
