I need to stop suffering all the time
And stop blaming others for my pain
I keep dwelling on the shit that’s wrong
Constantly believing that I am insane
When a break in my thoughts occur
Showing me the truth of my reality
I see I’m really not a bad person
My troubles are not bad In its totality
I don’t want to be a martyr
I want to break free
I dislike being the martyr
Deep inside of me
I don’t want to be a martyr
I want to break free
I dislike being the martyr
Deep inside of me
So what I am broken, who is not
I’m not the only one who feels this
I am amongst a billion others
That dream, hope, and silently wish
Wish for a better way, to break through
Look to the heavens and simply pray
Do I have to continue this struggle
Fighting for hope Each and every day
I don’t want to be a martyr
I want to break free
I dislike being the martyr
Deep inside of me
I don’t want to be a martyr
I want to break free
I dislike being the martyr
I’m done trying to act so damn tough
Pretending I’m strong enough to fight
I put on a fake mask to wear around
Trying to keep my pain out of sight
I feel so scared, like I’m the only one
I know for a fact that’s not true at all
Yet I remain stuck, trying to get out
Standing on the edge and about to fall
I don’t want to be a martyr
I want to break free
I dislike being the martyr
Deep inside of meI don’t want to be a martyr
I don’t want to cry
I don’t want to be a martyr
I open my wings and fly
