The Martyr Lyrics

by Andy Black

[Verse 1]
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

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e117364-andy_black~the_martyr_lyrics.html ]
[Pre-Chorus]
Trying to wake up with no safety net
Cut the strings and fold like a marionette

[Chorus]
Save yourself, it's all you have and how you live
Cry for help like you're the martyr

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Trying to wake up with no safety net
Cut the strings and fold like a marionette

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Don't ask me how I feel about you
Nothing, nothing
Don't tell me how to make amends

[Chorus]
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
You're the martyr
