Carrier Flux - Martyrs lyrics

rate me

look at me, I am the crippled now

could you ever hold me again?

Did you ever look and see what I was

Ever was I known when I was true?

And if this is all I am

Then peace becomes my rotten soul

They split themselves apart

And chase away those adored

they leave behind the binding hope

they chose to fight, in fear of this

I hear a million cries

pleas: only _to be heard_

I see a million smiles

pasted on faces of pain

they are scaling worlds

oblivious to their own

all for fear of being hurt

all for fear of being known

all on their own

never asking on

they fall

martyrs for lies

forget: your prejudice

embrace: me just once

set aside the horrid smiles

fall with me to know this vision

the lights blur and become as one

none are left to fend or restore

and time no longer forces fear

for we know now what we share

forget, embrace, the time will come
