Martyr Me by The Get Up Kids Lyrics
[Verse #1]
Just to get by, try to stay high
It's a good life, end of discussion
And the hours like sand, holes in my hand
I'm a good soul, martyr me
Wasting my life it's passing me by
It's a good fight throw in the towel
And the hours I've spent, aren't enough to pay rent
I'm just sinking water deep
But if all I have is defeat
[Chorus]
Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake
Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake
[Verse #2]
Case of my crime, a lack of my time
It's a roadblock, need a catharsis
Patience is spent, a virtue I sent
To the basement far from me
The less that I spend on the mess that I'm in
Could be used towards something of value
The time on my side isn't anything I've ever needed
Can't you see?
That all I have is defeat
[Chorus]
Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake
Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake
[Bridge]
Every unsuspecting scene
When we're supposed to make believe
That we're not tearing at the seams
We hang on, we hang on, we hang on
[Chorus]
Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake
Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake
[Chorus]
Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake
Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake
Just to get by, try to stay high
It's a good life, end of discussion
And the hours like sand, holes in my hand
I'm a good soul, martyr me
Wasting my life it's passing me by
It's a good fight throw in the towel
And the hours I've spent, aren't enough to pay rent
I'm just sinking water deep
But if all I have is defeat
[Chorus]
Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake
Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake
[Verse #2]
Case of my crime, a lack of my time
It's a roadblock, need a catharsis
Patience is spent, a virtue I sent
To the basement far from me
The less that I spend on the mess that I'm in
Could be used towards something of value
The time on my side isn't anything I've ever needed
Can't you see?
That all I have is defeat
[Chorus]
Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake
Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake
[Bridge]
Every unsuspecting scene
When we're supposed to make believe
That we're not tearing at the seams
We hang on, we hang on, we hang on
[Chorus]
Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake
Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake
[Chorus]
Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake
Tonight if you're awake at all
Tonight if you're awake
