Mika Evans – Selfish Sacrifice lyrics

Searching for a better high has turned me around so many times
That it's hard to tell where or if I'm standing
Sold my light away piece by piece for what I told myself I don't need
But now my shaking hands demand it

Hold on to me, cause I'm so scared I'll float away
I hear the devil's footsteps, he's gonna clip my angel wings
And I can hear him laughing, says there's a place prepared for me
When I die, don't cry, for my selfish sacrifice

I feel so ashamed without the skill or will to break these chains
Though I always tell you that I try to
It's not that you're naive you just want so much to believe in me
That's what makes you so easy to lie to

Hold on to me, cause I'm scared I'll float away
I hear the devil's footsteps, he's gonna clip my angel wings
And I can hear him laughing, says there's a place prepared for me
When I die, don't cry, for my selfish sacrifice

Hold on to me, cause I'm so scared I'll float away
I hear the devil's footsteps, he's gonna clip my angel wings
And I can hear him laughing, says there's a place prepared for me
When I die, don't cry

Every step is double-checked and second-guessed
And every breath that's left in me
Wants to fight and try to survive
But I deny my own disease
If I don't stand while I still can
And make a plan to cease control
I'll be gone before I go, I know so

Hold on to me, cause I'm so scared I'll float away
I hear the devil's footsteps, he's gonna clip my angel wings
And I can hear him laughing, says there's a place prepared for me
When I die, don't cry, my selfish sacrifice
Don't you, don't you cry for my selfish
I'm so selfish, now I'm helpless, but I did this to myself
So don't you, so don't you, don't you, don't you cry
