Distrust anyone who comes around

It's hard to protect yourself from the vultures who want the crown

I've been trying to figure out who is gonna have my back when I can't get by

And I see all these money signs glaring at me as a bank with a bag in hand

I don't want to let you get to my affection, blackmail misdirections backhand

I cannot connect now, feeling isolated, I feel like I let you down

I've been trying, I've been trying, I've been trying, I've been trying

I've been trying to realize I am feeling the sacrifice

In the way that I lose my mind

I've been trying, I've been trying, I've been trying, I've been trying

I've been trying to realize I am feeling the sacrifice

In the friends that I've left behind

I've been trying, I've been trying, I've been trying, I've been trying

I've been trying to realize I am feeling the sacrifice

In the glory of spotlight glam

I've been trying, I've been trying, I've been trying, I've been trying

I've been trying to realize I am feeling the sacrifice

I am feeling the sacrifice

I've been trying, I've been trying, I've been trying, I've been trying

I've been trying to realize I am feeling the sacrifice

In the way that I lose my mind

I've been feeling the warnings

I am sinking deep inside

Some suspicion or another all around

I am repulsed by all things earthly

Rip out my flesh

No longer human, baby

I've been feeling the warnings

I am sinking deep inside

Some suspicion or another all around

I am repulsed by all things earthly

Rip out my flesh

No longer human

I've been trying, I've been trying, I've been trying, I've been trying

I've been trying to realize I am feeling the sacrifice

In the glory of spotlight glam

I've been trying, I've been trying, I've been trying, I've been trying

I've been trying to realize I am feeling the sacrifice

I am feeling the sacrifice.
