You'll learn to suck it up again
because that's just the way you are
A martyr played for all your friends
Until you turn and fall apart
And somewhere in your twisted brains
It keeps coming through the fog
Some calculated fake restraint
To leave you chained up like a dog
But in your heart of hearts you feel
Forcing things you knew weren't real
Selecting words you'd wanna hear
Inside your heart of hearts I fear
And words like that can disappear
Your terms will learn to meet the space
With some silent compromise
These fears aren't processed face to face
But your thoughts are unrefined
It seems like you can't go without
These ideals you were sold
Imbedded deep within your doubts
For some clout and more control
But in your heart of hearts you feel
Forcing things you knew weren't real
Selecting words you'd wanna hear
Inside your heart of hearts I fear
And words like that can disappear
So watch these feelings come around
They'll warp your mind and bring you down
Ground to dust and burnt to ash
I think the time for talk has passed
And nothing here was meant to last
But in your heart of hearts you feel
Forcing things you knew weren't real
Selecting words you'd wanna hear
Inside your heart of hearts I fear
And words like that can disappear
So watch these feelings come around
They'll warp your mind and bring you down
Ground to dust and burnt to ash
