about

It’s about taking up the role of the martyr. You heal your own wounds by helping others. But sometimes you get so tired and the world beats you down so bad you worry that you have nothing left to give.

lyrics

The world is spinning away
I know I’ve seen this before
Now every day is the same
Can you help me?
I’m Locked away in my room
It’s getting hard to ignore
Like an open wound
Can you help me?

Years spent with your voice stuck in my head
You can never save what you love in the end

Rip my tongue from my mouth
Before I speak another word
How can I surrender myself
To a god I never served
Is there anybody out there?
Can anyone save me from myself?
We’re all just waiting for the downfall Waiting to see how it ends

Will I feel this way forever?
Or can I find the will to live
Can I still be a martyr
With no heart left to give?

(With no heart left to give)

I’ve never felt so numb
I barely have the strength to stand
It took everything I loved and ripped it from my hands

And ripped it from my hands

It feels like the whole damn world is out to get me!

Feeling so empty
This world is out to get me
