The Martyr

Keep falling on your sword
Sink down a little more
You said it best
Nobody’s worth less than you

It’s really only fair
You get the lion’s share
You know the score
No one should hurt more than you

These are the words I’m hearing in my head
The ones that I deserve and should be said
So pile it on
My back is strong
Cause I’m the martyr

I’m riddled with holes
They never seem to close
The scars I bear, nobody put there but me
These are the words that I will not let heal
The ones that I deserve and seem so real

So bring it on
I’ll soldier on
Cause I’m the martyr
The martyr

I’ve honored those who just move on ??
They light it up, years gone ??
Well that ain’t me
Well that ain’t me

Cause I’m the martyr
The martyr

Keep falling on your sword
Sink down a little more
You said it best
Nobody’s worth less than you
