Story Behind The Song
If a martyr is a person who is selfless, a smarter martyr is someone who is completely selfish, but wants to appear selfless so that he will get the sympathy. This is a personality trait I see in myself. Whenever I feel pain, though, I want you to know I'm feeling it. Especially if you caused it.
Song Description
This is a song about always making yourself a martyr so that you get recognition, but that is born out of real pain. This song has elements of rock, jazz, and funk, as well as thought provoking lyrics, but the hook is the most distinguishing characteristic.

Lyrics
Amnesia helps me suffocaate
Helps me forget my last mistake
Maybe I won't feel so, feel so all alone
I'm dead to what you did to me
Dead to all your sympathy
Dead so I don't feel so, feel so all alone
I got, I got no reason
I got, I got no rhyme
I got, I got to keep on getting smarter all the time
It's sentimental suicide
Trading your politics in for pride
You make me feel so crucified and feel so all alone
With all the things you took from me
My favorite shirt, my dignity
You've been making me feel so, feel so all alone
I got, I got no reason
I got, I got no rhyme
I got, I got to keep on getting smarter all the time
All eyes on me, can't you see how I suffer
All eyes on me, can't you see how I die
All eyes on me, can't you see how I suffer
Amnesia helps me isolate myself from all this suffocation
Maybe I won't feel so, feel so all alone
I got, I got no reason
I got, I got no rhyme
I got, I got to keep on getting smarter all the time
