Martyr

Dedicated to a very close friend...She would do anything for the world to smile. I love you. RIP

Let me be a martyr
give all the pain to me
dip me in terror and in war
let me soak up the misery
let me be the one
who gives up everything
so someone else can learn to fly
I'll cut off these tattered wings
Give the world the sun
and give me all the rain
let me soak up sorrow
and feel everyone's shame
let me die for you
even though you wouldn't do the same
its worth it in the end
I know it wouldn't be in vain
I'll be the first to jump
if the world should be weighed down
I'll l give up every sense
to give you one more sound
no, i don't think that I'm god
I was just born to sacrifice
because i know things won't change or heal
until I've paid the price
so give me all the hurt
lay it down on me
I'll hold you up and fix your crown
So one day you'll be free
