the willing martyr

i awoke as a canvas

sculpted by hands i could not feel

i shook the cage set aflame

but there was no escape

with no direction to go

tore off the veil and made a choice

now i've found the key to be set free

i preserve my silence for the ones who left me

come out from the shadows

say it to my face

meet this willing martyr

who has found a name

you ripped the trust from blameless hands

made me believe there's no way out

tell the truth and say it to my face

in the dark i found a voice

tore off the veil and made a choice

now i've found the key to be set free

i awoke as a canvas

sculpted by hands i could not feel

i shook the cage set aflame

the lock unhinged

now i can breathe

you ripped the trust from blameless hands

made me believe there's no way out

tell the truth and say it to my face

in the dark i found a voice

tore off the veil and made a choice

now i've found the key to be set free

now i've found
