The Martyr - John Paul White

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
