Martyr Me – The Get Up Kids

Just to get by, try to stay high
It’s a good life, end of discussion
And the hours like sand, the holes in my hand
I’m a good soul, martyr me

And I’m 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’s defeat

Tonight if you’re awake at all
Tonight if you’re awake
Tonight if you’re awake at all
Tonight if you’re awake

Case of my crime, a lack of my time
It’s a roadblock, need a catharsis
The 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

Tonight if you’re awake at all
Tonight if you’re awake
Tonight if you’re awake at all
Tonight if you’re awake

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

Tonight if you’re awake at all
Tonight if you’re awake
Tonight if you’re awake at all
Tonight if you’re awake

Tonight if you’re awake at all
Tonight if you’re awake
Tonight if you’re awake at all
Tonight if you’re awake
