Not Your Martyr

Verse 1

I bled for you in silence

Held the weight you threw on me

Every whispered promise twisted

Into chains I couldn’t see

I danced on shards of your illusions

Every step a sacrifice

But I won’t kneel, I won’t forgive

I’m done paying your price

Pre-Chorus

You thought I’d crumble

You thought I’d bow

But I’m not your shadow

I’m not your vow

Chorus

I’M NOT YOUR MARTYR

I WON’T DIE FOR YOUR SINS

I’M DONE WITH THE FIRE

YOU THINK YOU CAN WIN

I’M NOT YOUR MARTYR

I’M TAKING BACK MY NAME

I’M FREE FROM THE CHAINS

I WON’T BE YOUR PAIN

Verse 2

Every word you threw like thunder

Every glance a sharpened knife

You carved a hollow cathedral

In the center of my life

But I found strength in the ruins

Found a voice to break the walls

You can try to haunt my silence

But I won’t answer your calls

Pre-Chorus

You thought I’d crumble

You thought I’d bow

But I’m not your shadow

I’m not your vow

Chorus

I’M NOT YOUR MARTYR

I WON’T DIE FOR YOUR SINS

I’M DONE WITH THE FIRE

YOU THINK YOU CAN WIN

I’M NOT YOUR MARTYR

I’M TAKING BACK MY NAME

I’M FREE FROM THE CHAINS

I WON’T BE YOUR PAIN

Bridge / Breakdown (acoustic + raw scream)

I walked through your storm

I carried your lies

But I’m not broken

I won’t apologize

Every tear, every scar

Was mine to claim

I’m alive, I’m burning

I won’t play your game

Final Chorus (powerful, soaring)

I’M NOT YOUR MARTYR

I WON’T DIE FOR YOUR SINS

I’M DONE WITH THE FIRE

YOU THINK YOU CAN WIN

I’M NOT YOUR MARTYR

I’M TAKING BACK MY NAME

I’M FREE FROM THE CHAINS

I WON’T BE YOUR PAIN

Outro (soft acoustic, defiant whisper)

I’m not your martyr…

Not anymore.
