The Martyr
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Do I want to forgive my sins while yours are still bleeding?
I forgot what it's like to live and get lost in dreaming
Will you push me out into the great unknown
Let me go
Let me float through the darkness
Did I hold you back and throw it all away
'Cause a lie is just fear, let's be honest
Trying to wake up with no safety net
Cut the strings and fold like a marionette
Save yourself, it's all you have and how you live
Cry for help like you're the martyr
Do I know where the truth begins, the pain that you're speaking?
Can I betray your heart again and know what's deceiving
Did I give it up before it could unfold
Like a knife, it shines red, perfect scarlet?
Will you tear it up before my sorrow grows
Because death has come back for the harvest
Trying to wake up with no safety net
Cut the strings and fold like a marionette
Save yourself, it's all you have and how you live
Cry for help like you're the martyr
You never think twice, just believe that it's right
Your heart has grown numb from the hate you've become
Save yourself, it's all you have and how you live
Cause you're the martyr
Don't ask me how I feel about you
Nothing, nothing
Don't tell me how to make amends
Save yourself, it's all you have and how you live
Cry for help like you're the martyr
You never think twice, just believe that it's right
Your heart has grown numb from the hate you've become
Save yourself, it's all you have and how you live
Cause you're the martyr
