The Martyr Lyrics
And so it's begun
This is year one
The birth of a child
In the form of a man
Wrapped in towel
Passed out on the floor
These drunken hours
Graces deflowered
Cast down by an angel
She used to kiss his weeping eyes
Depressed in her bosom
Tears roll off her nipple
Sweet Baby, don't cry
Your tears are only alibis
To prove you still feel
You only feel sorry for yourself
Well, get on that cross
That's all you're good for
The martyr!
And thusly it ends
Depression seeps in
On a lonely messiah
Now he drinks with the lepers
Losing a limb
His better half
A glass once half full
A head hung half-mast
He claims he's the victim
Strangled by the nine-to-five
And a pattern of stillness
That haunted this still life
Your tears are only alibis
To prove you still feel
You only feel sorry for yourself
And that's how you thrive
Your sorrow's your goldmine
So write some sad song about me
Screaming your agonies, playing the saint
The martyr
The martyr
The martyr
The martyr
The martyr
Oh . . .
this is the first cursive song i have heard. its so addicting. i love everything about this song....
this was my first cursive song also. it's just amazing.
The intro is amazing. Great song. Great lyrics.
my first was lament of pretty baby but i love this song too its a great band
Nothing but good things to repeat about the band. :D
Not my first. My second, but my favorite. =]
Your tears are only alibis To prove you still feel You only feel sorry for yourself And that's how you thrive Your sorrow's your goldmine So write some sad song about me Screaming your agonies, playing the saint.
fucking amazing.
weird as shit this was my first cursive song too, and it got me so addicted, i think they put nicotine in their songs or something, i fucking love the chorus Your tears are only alibis To prove you still feel -- You only feel sorry for yourself Well, get on that cross That's all you're good for...
Even just the way he said "the martyr" in the end...incredible. I agree texticle...where do they hide such a form of nicotine? hmmmm. And I vowed to myself to stay away from drugs. bah.
cursive is just simply amazing.
