Megan McKee - Martyr (Original Song)

It's too late to play dumb
When I'm not deaf, I've listened,
I've already confronted.
Taking the one you love
I'm not this selfish
He'll take me home
if I am limp and what he's hunted.
Knowing I could never be better,
Only louder and easier to kill.
He fed me bullets,
I'm cupid's bullseye -
red and dripping
like the guilty eyes behind your windowsill.
And you don't deserve this hurt.
But I know I deserve
To finally step freely under this canopy
aware of the snapping traps beneath me.

Because I'm a martyr for a heart
A martyr for love
A martyr for a heart
A martyr for love

Now back at the hunter's cabin
The growing flames are gold
where the cauldron hangs above the stove.
The room where I awaken is stuffed and shaken
like the empty heads
that line the life-sized Lincoln Log walls.
And once the hunter's Misses,
she's just a mistress
Living broken right across the twisted,
pebbled stream.
And sometimes she still visits,
but only shortly
because her errors made what once was past
into her present dreams.
I don't feel dirty in her fancy dresses,
though, maybe I should...
we've spoken civilly since then over tea,
but it's still misunderstood..

why I'm a martyr for a heart
A martyr for love
Martyr for his heart
Why have I died for his love?


I cried of retreat
And you are just a whimper among the thousand trees
These woods are full of game
Bustling with the howls of fresh meat
So grimace, nail your heart to the table
Where he forgot to save your seat
(You must hate me)
