Lyrics
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.
Don't be the martyr, don't be the martyr,
Cause the martyr will surely die today.
Don't be a liar, don't be a liar,
Cause your sins will surely catch you out today.
Matchbox, matchbox,
Matchbox, matchbox strike up an idea.
Strained voices distort inside my head,
You're listening with headphones.
Strained voices distort and smudge my friends,
Listening with headphones.
"contaminated, contaminated"
Are the poisonous words you choose to speak.
Oh, think about it, please think about it
Are those the final words you'd want to speak?
