SONG TO A MARTYR
There you go again
Looking like a traitor
Wearing your secrets on your sleeve
Ain't quite so bad, you say
Someone has to pay
There's nothing to see here, folks
Please step away
We only tell ourselves things we care to pay attention to
Just listen to you
You're always high on the inside, dancing like a dreamer
Tear-stained disguise on the outside that you still hold on to
Sure looks like you're still holding out for someday
It's best you walk away
But you can't let go
The past is a spectacle of blue
Spilling the oil on the canvas of your broken heart
Patience, complacence, I'll leave it up to you
You're always high on the inside, dancing like a dreamer
Tear-stained disguise on the outside that you still hold on to
You're always high on the inside, dancing like a dreamer, sweet dream weaver
Nothing comes between her and her fantasy
_____
Such a tragedy
You only tell yourself things you care to pay attention to
Here's looking at you
You're always high on the inside dancing like a dreamer
Tear-stained disguise on the outside that you still hold on to
You're always high on the inside, dancing like a dreamer, sweet dreamer
Tear-stained disguise on the outside that you still hold on to
That's just like you, still holding out for some day
Holding out for some day
You're gonna stick around for some day
Why wait around on some day
