Gone

And there I stood, significantly ignorant
Couldn't see the past, so I passively joined a syndicate
Passin' out in percocet at night, that's normal, isn't it?
Couldn't see the difference
I'm different, that's all it really is
Then someone tapped me on the shoulder
Told me that the path I had chosen would only get colder
Told me of a light, I could finally find my composure
I told them I would be fine as I heard the thunder get closer when it...
It was dark

(Oh, Oh, Woah)
I sold my soul for a penny

So I took a step, didn't know where it would takе me
Deep within my chest, I could feel my conscious was breaking
Startеd feeling nauseous
My body, it started shaking
Tried to take a breath, but I found the air was evading
Then it called me in the distance
Offer me control, but I had to make a decision
Sacrifice my soul to the creature I had befriended or keep it all to myself 'til the darkness surrounded in it
I guess I was weak

(Oh, Oh, Woah)
Don't lose yourself in the cloudiness{?}

Then I saw a light, started as a flicker
Spread into the sky like a candle among the whicker
Reach into the distance and smothered all of the darker
Could feel it deep in my chest as it repositioned my heart
I collapsed
'Til the Earth became a gurney
Woke up to a voice in my left and my stomach turnin'
Thought I heard a nurse telling the paramedics to hurry
Couldn't find the source of the sound, my vision was blurry
Then I woke
I heard familiar voices talking how mistake was the consequence of my choices
Looked around the room and saw my family surrounded me
Mother started weeping, my father was looking down at me
But his eyes that would not follow any of my movement
Assuming that it was sorrow, got up out of bed and began to speak, but refrained as I saw that beneath the sheets, my body had still remained, and I
I was gone

(Oh, Oh, Woah)
Don't lose yourself in the shadows
(Oh, Oh, Woah)
I'd sell my soul, I'd sell my-

The devil knocked and I said to him, "I've lost myself in a memory"
He said, "I'll charge your soul for a sudden leave
If you let me in, I'll be a better friend"
(Oh, Oh, Woah)
I was weak
I traded pain in a moment for eternity
Killing everyone who gets close to me
Mom, I love you when in life{?}, but now it hurts to breathe
(Oh, Oh, Woah)
