Sacrifice Lyrics
They give you a throne
They give ya a town
They build you an army
To fight for the crown
I know that you think this is what you want
But a part of you rots and a part of you’s gone
So go on darlin’ save yourself
Cause I’m scared I’m going to hell
I let my fire feed the beast of desire
burns me up and that’s a pain I will remember
For the rest of my days
Control takes a piece of my soul
It holds me under till I go insane
But that’s the sacrifice I’ve made
So give me ledge
Give me a grave
I’d rather be dead
Than to give up this name
I’ve seen the monsters, I carry the weight
And you couldn’t handle the price that I paid
So go on keep your sanity
Lord knows there’s no saving me
I let my fire feed the beast of desire
It burns me up and that’s a pain I will remember
For the rest of my days
Control takes a piece of my soul
It holds me under till I go insane
But that’s the sacrifice I’ve made
All the chemicals, and the fucking trolls
Think there’s something twisted up the blood something medical
Another pretty face kiss kiss just a centerfold
Looking like a god when you put me on a pedestal
I let my fire feed the beast of desire
It burns me up and that’s a pain I will remember
Control takes a piece of my soul
It holds me under till I go insane
But that’s the sacrifice I’ve made
They give ya a town
They build you an army
To fight for the crown
But a part of you rots and a part of you’s gone
Cause I’m scared I’m going to hell
For the rest of my days
Control takes a piece of my soul
It holds me under till I go insane
But that’s the sacrifice I’ve made
Give me a grave
I’d rather be dead
Than to give up this name
I’ve seen the monsters, I carry the weight
And you couldn’t handle the price that I paid
So go on keep your sanity
Lord knows there’s no saving me
It burns me up and that’s a pain I will remember
For the rest of my days
Control takes a piece of my soul
It holds me under till I go insane
But that’s the sacrifice I’ve made
Think there’s something twisted up the blood something medical
Another pretty face kiss kiss just a centerfold
It burns me up and that’s a pain I will remember
Control takes a piece of my soul
It holds me under till I go insane
But that’s the sacrifice I’ve made

Royale Lynn says of this track “SACRIFICE” shows a vulnerable side of me, it portrays my journey of dealing with my mental health while navigating the music industry,” she explains. “I want to show people that it’s okay to have struggles and talk about them openly because you should never let it stop you from doing what you love." Featuring ominous figures draped in hooded capes, macabre imagery and shadowy nods to the occult, the powerful music video for “SACRIFICE” paints a visual picture of the darkness that can accompany mental illness.
