Martyr Lyrics - Rusted Root

Hey mister can you help me sir I plead? I plead for your sympathy 

Rains came pounding us down again 

Your horizons they crawl up to my chin 

I started to drown in your vision when I looked through your windows 

As they flew through the air all I could find was a river in pieces 

How long should we play the martyr? 

How long should we play the martyr? 

Hey mister come down and see see your misery 

Rains came pounding us down well again 

Through your weakness I shed my skin open wide to my spirit 

I looked through your windows as they flowed through the air 

I was left swirling in your pool of aggression 

How long should we play the martyr? 

How long should we play the martyr? 

How long should we play the martyr? 

How long should we play the martyr? 

Martyr, martyr, martyr 

How long should we play the martyr? 

How long should we play the martyr? 

How long should we play the martyr? 

How long should we play the martyr? 

Martyr, martyr, martyr 

Hey mister can you help me sir I plead? I plead for your sympathy 

Rains came pounding us down well again 

Your horizons they crawl up to my chin 

I started to drown in your vision when I looked through your windows 

As they flew through the air all I could find was a river in pieces 

How long should we play the martyr? 

The martyr oh yeah 

How long should we play the martyr? 

How long should we play the martyr? 

How long should we play the martyr? 

Martyr, martyr, martyr
