Verse 1
Your furrowed brow and your heavy shoulders
Your pouted lip and your sullen eyes
Your racing heart and your sad demeanor
The bitter taste of your swallowed pride
Your bowed head and your held tongue
You bite it just to feel alive
You’ve been before but you’ve never lingered
This isn’t where you’re meant to thrive
Pre-Hook
The verbal walk of shame..
The slander of your name...
Your reputation laid bare is
Your only claim to fame
Hook
You’re a martyr for humility
The human instability
An example for all who dare stumble or fall
A living fragility
You’re a martyr for humanity
The punishment for sanity
And until you eat your soul
You will never have control
Of the emptiness inside of me
Verse 2
Your passion feast and your thirst for justice
You fight to balance on the line
Your grinding teeth, head on a swivel
Running out of patience out of time
You bite the nails that hold the bullet
A victim of your own demise
To speak aloud or drown in silence
No truth to speak, no room for lies
Pre-Hook
The verbal walk of shame..
The slander of your name...
Your reputation laid bare is
Your only claim to fame
Hook
You’re a martyr for humility
The human instability
An example for all who dare stumble or fall
A living fragility
You’re a martyr for humanity
The punishment for sanity
And until you eat your soul
You will never have control
Of the emptiness inside of me
