about

"Sacrifice" expresses the regret of giving everything to a person without receiving a single thing back. In the song, the narrator gets their hands dirty for their loved one, only to realize that the feeling was unrequited. The song affirms that your time and love are worth more than the people who abuse them.

lyrics

I have never seen a ghost so alive as you
We’re smudged gray to waste away
But you're the last one dreaming


Of a brighter world
A liars worlds
One that can’t exist
But I’ll go to lengths
To make your end
The one that you have missed
And I’ll do it all
To be in your midst


I’ll be your torch I’ll burn up
To keep you from freezing
I’ll hibernate my ugly soul
To keep you from seeing
Seeing
Seeing


You tread on soft grass while I
Brave the bite of glass
You’re strong and you are bright
I fear you will not last


But here we are at the waterfall
And the only way is down
I tear apart another’s dreams
To keep you from the ground
And I’ll do it all
But what does it bring


I’ll be your torch I’ll burn up
To keep you from freezing
I’ll hibernate my ugly soul
To keep you from seeing
Seeing
Seeing


Now I have done all you asked
Yet you let go of my hand
You’re moving on to a new home
Leaving me alone


Oh I feel emptied of a brighter light
The one that you stole
My breath was timed with your heart
In tempo with your soul
And I wonder would I do it all again

To be your torch and burn up
To keep you from freezing
To swallow down my own soul
And hide all the bleeding
I’ll take the fire and turn away
From the lies you’ve been believing
And I’ll be better off as another ghost
Then turn into a demon
