"Martyr Moves" lyrics
How can I know what to do?
What's harder than finding my place in the truth
Is to keep it a secret once I do
'Cause it might hurt someone more than I would want to
To sit in a dream while it dims
Will the loneliness crush me more alone or with him?
And what do I think I might prove
If I make
These martyr moves?
Three months
Nine months
Three years
Six years
Twelve years
Twenty years
Forty years
Eighty years
My hope is a flickering flame
Which I've found it increasingly hard to explain
But I'll try
In the family forge, I got burned
Taught a story in so many words
That it's best to prepare for the worst
And to make
These martyr moves
And to make
These martyr moves
What's harder than finding my place in the truth
Is to keep it a secret once I do
'Cause it might hurt someone more than I would want to
To sit in a dream while it dims
Will the loneliness crush me more alone or with him?
And what do I think I might prove
If I make
These martyr moves?
Three months
Nine months
Three years
Six years
Twelve years
Twenty years
Forty years
Eighty years
My hope is a flickering flame
Which I've found it increasingly hard to explain
But I'll try
In the family forge, I got burned
Taught a story in so many words
That it's best to prepare for the worst
And to make
These martyr moves
And to make
These martyr moves
