"My Sacrifice" is a raw and powerful journey through love, loss, and personal redemption. From the very first note, it blends emotional melodies with intense, heartfelt vocals that pull you deep into a story of giving everything for someone — even when it costs you everything. The haunting instrumentals weave an atmosphere of vulnerability and strength, while the steady pulse keeps the emotion flowing like an unbroken current. This track captures both the beauty and the pain of true devotion, delivering moments of quiet reflection alongside surges of passion. It’s a song that lingers long after it ends, speaking to anyone who’s ever risked it all for love. "My Sacrifice" is not just a song—it’s an emotional reckoning, a cathartic release, and a reminder that sometimes our deepest scars are also our greatest proof of how fiercely we can feel.


[1st Verse]

Left behind all illusions that I had in mind
In their place, a trace of who I used to be
This is not what I had planned
I am not who I appear to be.
Moving on, start my life today

[Chorus]

All I've seen leads me to a place that I don't want to be
Now I see, wasted life lived for everyone but me
My sacrifice was carried out to please you

[2nd Verse]

Buried deep inside of me still hides a child
Searching for my way back home
Rip away this empty shell
Step outside this self-made hell
Carry on another day

[Chorus]

All I've seen leads me to a place that I don't want to be
Now I see, wasted life lived for everyone but me
My sacrifice was carried out to please you

[Bridge]

No more masks to hide the fear within
My patience for this game is growing thin
After all I see the truth

[Chorus]

All I've seen leads me to a place that I don't want to be
Now I see, wasted life lived for everyone but me
My sacrifice was carried out to please you

[Bridge]

No more masks to hide the fear within
My patience for this game is growing thin
After all I see the truth

[Outro]

My sacrifice was carried out to please you
My sacrifice was carried out for you

My Sacrifice

[Verse 1]
That neon paints a different pane
I know the sound of city rain
On alley floors where there's no light
You trade her world for endless night
You see a future in her eyes
I see the place where wonder dies
This city's built on hearts that break
I know that price, for goodness sake.

[Chorus]
You take that sparkle, full of glee
And drag her where the shadows flee
You call it sunshine, fresh and new
I know what this grey sky will do
You think this city is a brand new world
But she gets tossed and hurled
Your little sparkle, a burning wick
This city's patient, cold, and sick.

[Verse 2]
No forts of sheets, just concrete stairs
That lead to cold and vacant stares
You'll kill her giggles, one by one
Beneath an artificial sun
You'll take the drawings from her hand
And teach her shame she'll understand
She'll learn new stories from the grime
And lose herself there, given time.

[Chorus]
You take that sparkle, full of glee
And drag her where the shadows flee
You call it sunshine, fresh and new
I know what this grey sky will do
You think this city is a brand new world
But she gets tossed and hurled
Your little sparkle, a burning wick
This city's patient, cold, and sick.

[Bridge]
And as she grows, day by broken day
You'll watch her colors drain away
You promised her you'd hold her tight
You'll lose her to the U-Bahn light
This place reminded me how to bleed
And plant a bitter, broken seed
You see a gift, a precious thing
I hear the lonely dirge she'll sing.

[Chorus]
You take that sparkle, full of glee
And drag her where I used to be
You call it sunshine, fresh and new
I know what this grey sky will do
You think this city is a brand new world
But she gets tossed and hurled
Your little sparkle, a burning wick
God, this city's cold and sick.

[Outro]
Yeah, you'll pretend that it's all right
Another star in a sea of night.
You say you love her, through and through...
But this City will love her suffering, too.
