Martyr Complex

I don’t pick fights, they just name me the villain Weight on my chest, and I’m way past the feelin’ Told me I’m cold, but I grew up with nothin’ Carried it all like the pain really mean somethin’ Yeah, I been too good at survivin’ They hate when you quiet and climbin’ I seen them switch for alignment Played both sides like a hybrid Said I was distant, I call it decided Not here for the clappin’ or violence They write my name in the silence Then act surprised when I rise in the climate Say I changed, yeah that’s true If you knew what I knew I’m just playin’ my part In a world that don’t owe you a view You want someone to bleed for your comfort You want someone to carry the blame I’m not your thunder, I’m not your Martyr I walk away with both feet in the flame If I fall, don’t write me a novel Just say I moved how I had to move Don’t need your silence dressed as a chapel I never died just to prove it to you They build you up for the takedown Smile in the front with the shakedown Used to be love, it’s a stake now Truth in the cuts that I tape down Heard all the talk, I don’t break down Just nod and move through the breakdown Peace don’t come with a PayPal And trust don’t click when you play foul I lit a match in a cold room They watched the burn from a showroom I paid my dues in the wrong mood And still got taxed when I told truth You want someone to bleed for your comfort You want someone to carry the blame I’m not your thunder, I’m not your Martyr I walk away with both feet in the flame If I fall, don’t write me a novel Just say I moved how I had to move Don’t need your silence dressed as a chapel I never died just to prove it to you Yeah, I get it now They only love you when you stay down But I’m way out And I don’t need your halo or your breakdown
