I stare for hours at a long lost friend
the frame is cracked and worn
no flag to wave no song to sing
your faith has made it nullified
[chorus]
so walk you have the upper hand
I cannot live this way
I will stand up on my own
as if you gave me something
so quick to play the martyr roll
I've seen it two times before
can t please them anymore
routinely I compromise
blank expression by dog
and yet I comprehend
a switch of roles and I would smile again
have a feast with you
[chorus]
it s like I shut down blocked it out
don t waste you time or thoughts on me
I will be fine life s not that hard
cause in time you ll see
I am one act from being decent
in awhile I ll nurse my pride and
wont turn away confront it
face the ones that accuse me on my own
