Martyr

here's what you don't get i want to do things i can't stand around terrified no that's too many men before me and where's their place in history? nowhere, right? yeah, alright just who's side are you on the one that freaks at the thought of pain crying, tears, emptiness, screaming well i swim in blood every day and you know what? i come out a better man because i know it i know how to control it fear keeps us in check but fear doesn't move things no i'm not fearless but i won't stand around terrified here is the hanging nape of heaven and you're too afraid to look in on it nothing will stop me from claiming my own nothing can stop me from displacing god nothing can stop me from changing my mind everyday i'm alive that's the appeal of change a fresh new perspective without the sound of nails scraping boards a martyr maybe that's what i'm supposed to be yeah
