my fingers are on the blade, i test the edge against the heel
of my hand and my life wells up bright; red as the light inside my head

my stomach hurts so bad, filled up with rot inside me
my skull is locked too tight, float away untethered, guide me

(chorus) you know i love you, you know i care
and the hurt inside you, is pain that we can share

sacrifice(x2)

i'll ease your pain tonight, take you away from all this
the knife slides in tender, gleaming, a steel kiss

so simple (x2)


you wrestled my demons and did not emerge unscathed
eternal love for you will bridge the path between days

(chorus) sacrifice (x2)
