lyrics

Understanding how you're taking over
Slowly breaking down my composure
Comprehending the way you dissect me
I pick up the pieces as you deceive me

I can't play your game any longer
I can't keep saving a martyr
Standing on the edge of returning
I need to turn and run far away

I build my walls to just keep your pain out
Cause it explodes into a thousand shards
Percolating every inch of me but
I keep denying, continue dividing

I can't play your game any longer
I can't keep saving a martyr
Standing on the edge of returning
I need to turn and run far away

Say what you want
I see through your vicious ways
I need to escape

I can't play your game any longer
I can't keep saving a martyr
Standing the edge for returning
I need to turn and run
