Martyr

crucified by promises

the empty clip tells a different story

tears will never cleanse these wounds

frozen thoughts and clenched teeth

around and around we go

 

time stops when i call your name

there is no echo

against my cheek i feel your breath

i want it to carry me away

take me off my cross

 

it gets harder and harder

it won't be much longer

the ****** tells me so

this cross is made of hope

with nails made of promises
