about

-Martyr-

Your suffering doesn't make you better than anyone else. We all suffer. Do what you love until you forget what you hate. You are beautifully flawed and special...just like the rest of us. -Maulskull-

lyrics

No one here to fear
Nothing left to feel
Little echoes in my head that tell me none of them are real
No more fire in the heat
No afflictions left to heal
When all the liars and the thieves are out of fiction left to steal
So once more into the fray
Where we brutalize the future while we euthanize the day
We'll crucify intruders and their euphemizing traits
I'll bring my anger long as you provide the hate
And I am not alone
I can hear the footsteps in the attic
And the voices in my head are enigmatic apparatus
I am home
Scribbling on your illustrated sadness
With my insulating habits
While you imitate the madness on your own
So give me something I can see through
When you lie between your teeth and wonder why they don't believe you
They don't need you
So go ahead and tie the strand that leads you by the neck
Cause you were too afraid to bite the hand that feeds you
And I'm still searching for the careless
In a mixture of barbiturates and lack of self awareness
My muses are promiscuously dancing in the bareness
With the cynics that meticulously asterisk my merits
So generic
I wonder if I'll ever be the same
When I've abandoned who I am but still the memory remains
The blood is on my hands and I can never clean the stains
And I've been running out of enemies to blame, blame...

It's what you wasted on yourself til your gone
You never made it to the end of the night
And all the times they tried to tell you it's wrong
You'll be a martyr for the rest of your life
You'll be a martyr for the rest of your life
You'll be a martyr for the rest of your life
It's what you waste on your dreams til they're gone
They never made it to the end of the night
And all the times they tried to tell you it's wrong
You'll be a martyr for the rest of your life
You'll be a martyr for the rest of your life
You'll be a martyr for the rest of your life

If they took away the shame
Would you still feel unaccepted?
When they let you play their game you'll never win
Would you expect it?
If they knew you were to blame
Would you still feel so unaffected
I neglect to be afraid but your afraid to be neglected
I don't think you have a soul
So I guess you're like the rest of us
Together all alone collecting dust with no one left to trust
We measure up to nothing
While we reach for what we'll never clutch
An exodus and all we left behind us was this exit dust
And now
I bet you wish you were there to escape
The sinister errors in the wake
Of innocent prayers that you make
Another promise you can't fix or repair when it breaks
They salivate your losses while they spit the despair in your face
How does it taste?
Is it sweeter than a melody
Or sour like the power you devour with your jealousy?
Cause hour after hour you can cower overzealously
But nothings gonna stop us when I drag you back to hell with me
And it's to late to say goodbye
Because your dreams already found a place to curl up when they die
And I will let this irony inside of me survive
As long as violent environments remind me I'm alive
And I'm alive....
I'm throwing caution to the wind
So I can watch it blow away with all my consequencial friends
They're gone but not forgotten
While they're rotten from within
I wanna wash the fucking toxin from my skin, skin...

It's what you wasted on yourself til your gone
You never made it to the end of the night
And all the times they tried to tell you it's wrong
You'll be a martyr for the rest of your life
You'll be a martyr for the rest of your life
You'll be a martyr for the rest of your life
It's what you waste on your dreams til they're gone
They never made it to the end of the night
And all the times they tried to tell you it's wrong
You'll be a martyr for the rest of your life
You'll be a martyr for the rest of your life
You'll be a martyr for the rest of your life
