Step into the emotional battlefield with Sacrifice, the gripping opening track from Mariah the Scientist’s fourth studio album HEARTS SOLD SEPARATELY, released August 22, 2025, via Epic Records. Her lyrics and haunting melodies create a cinematic atmosphere, echoing the album’s recurring metaphor of love as a battlefield, where women give their hearts like toy soldiers—strong and committed, but often unacknowledged.
Drawing from the vulnerable intensity of Always n Forever from RY RY WORLD and the reflective depth of From A Woman from To Be Eaten Alive, Sacrifice likely captures the pain of giving all for love, as hinted by the album’s toy soldier imagery. As the lead track, it lays bare Mariah’s feminist lens, portraying women as warriors in love’s uneven fight. This track feels like a heart poured out under a neon sky—purely haunting! Surrender to Sacrifice lyrics below, and feel Mariah’s soulful cry for love’s cost.

Lyrics of Sacrifice by Mariah the Scientist
[Intro]
Oh-oh
[Verse 1]
Ain’t Nothing That I Wouldn’t Give
All My Love And Even Lovely Gifts
To My Lover, Hope You Do Outlive Me
There’s No Other Making Life Worth Living
I’d Be Lying If I Said
There Ain’t Nothing That I Should Regret
All My Secrets, Now You Truly Hold
Thinking I Might Really Be In Love
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s Been At Least Three Hundred Days
I Got Stuck In Your Maze, Oh
I’m All Out Of Places To Run
But We’ll Find A Way Out
And All These Lonely Nights
I Guess It’s Only Right
I’m All Out Of Pages To Turn
So I’ll Read This Out Loud, Oh
[Chorus]
I’m Falling (I’m Falling)
Can’t Make It Stop (Can’t Make It Stop Now)
Evolving (Evolving, Yeah)
My Broken Heart (From My Broken Heart, Yeah)
I Need (I Need) Someone To Help
Tell Me I’m Falling For Someone Who Saved Me From Myself
[Verse 2]
Ain’t Nothing That I Wouldn’t Quit
Every Drug And Every Man I’ve Kissed
To The Others, Hope You Can Forgive Me
Found Another And Now, He’s The Ending
I’d Be Crying If You Left
Dry My Eyes And Now I Should Confess
Never Thought That I’d Be More Than Lust
Never Found A Man Who I Could Trust
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s Been At Least Three Hundred Days
I Got Stuck In Your Maze, Oh
I’m All Out Of Places To Run
But We’ll Find A Way Out
And All These Lonely Nights
I Guess It’s Only Right
I’m All Out Of Pages To Turn
So I’ll Read This Out Loud, Oh
[Chorus]
I’m Falling (I’m Falling)
Can’t Make It Stop (Can’t Make It Stop Now)
Evolving (Evolving, Yeah)
My Broken Heart (From My Broken Heart, Yes)
I Need (I Need) Someone To Help
Tell Me I’m Falling For Someone Who Saved Me From Myself, Myself
