Selling My Soul Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Man of madness who lives in my head
Keeping me awake at night, he sits on my bed
He drives me crazy, he won't go away
Playing his game every night and every day, yeah

[Verse 2]
My mind feels heavy, my body feels weak
Suicidal thoughts crying out for some sleep
Impending doom is what I'm about
Think I'm going out without a shadow of doubt

[Chorus]
I search for serenity, yeah
Is it really out there?
I don't read the holy books 'cause
They take me nowhere

I can't hold on, yes, I'm
Losing control
I'm paying the price now for
Selling my soul, selling my soul

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I search for serenity, yeah
Is it really out there?
I don't read the holy books 'cause
They take me nowhere
I can't hold on, yes, I'm
Losing control
I'm paying the price now for
Selling my soul, selling my soul

[Outro]
Yeah, for selling my soul
Yeah, selling my soul
Yeah, for selling my soul

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
