Martyr
Shadows in your eyes
And spots in front of them
Fists clenched so tight
Your knuckles are white
Her face red from tears
And newly dyed red top
The children start to scream
It was only a bad dream
Does she really deserve this?
What has she done to spite you?
Her pathetic sobbing cuts you
Respond to pain with pain
She can't hide that bruise
Is that her fault or yours?
Her silence fills you with shame
And you don't want to take the blame
Swollen lips and shiners
The whole neighbourhood despises you
One day she will go too far
Today you almost went too far
Does she really deserve this?
Did she really try to spite you?
Her martyrdom cuts you, hurts you
Respond to pain with pain
Does she really deserve this?
Did she really try to spite you?
Her martyrdom cuts you, hurts you
Respond to pain with pain
