[intro - synth arpeggio] [analog sequencer, drum machine starts, bright synth lead] i made a deal one midnight. i signed my name in red. [verse 1 - storytelling, earnest vocal] [driving bassline, sequenced arpeggios] i met him at the crossroads, he was dressed in gray. his smile was like a contract, he had so much to say. he said he knew my longing, he said he knew her name. he said he'd bring her to me, he said he'd fan the flame. he asked me for my soul, i gave it without thought. he asked me for forever, i gave him what he sought. [spoken - confused tone] [synth pads only] i do not know why i did it. maybe it was love, maybe it was madness. [pre-chorus - building tension] [rising synths, drum fills] but now i feel the weight, the ink is drying fast. she does not know the bargain, she does not know the past. i traded in my heaven just to hold her hand. but when she finds the truth, she will not understand. [chorus - catchy hook, layered vocals] [full techno-pop groove, bright synth leads, wide stereo] i sold my soul, i sold my soul. i made a deal to make her whole. with midnight ink and devil's grace. i bought my place beside her face. i sold my soul, i sold my soul. i paid the price to play my role. from light to dark, from free to bound. i gave it all to have her found. [verse 2 - more dramatic, emotional] [heavier bassline, more synth layers] he made me walk through fire, he made me cross the sea. he made me give up singing just to whisper her name free. i did it all for love, i thought that she would stay. but when i came to find her, she said, "who are you, anyway." i showed her all the proof, the scars upon my hand. she looked at me with pity, and said, "i don't understand." [spoken - resigned tone] [soft synth pads] i should have known the price. but when you love a ghost, you pay what they demand. [pre-chorus - building again] [rising tension, drum rolls] but now i feel the weight, the ink is drying fast. she does not know the bargain, she does not know the past. i traded in my heaven just to hold her hand. but when she finds the truth, she will not understand. [chorus - full energy, layered harmonies] [maximum synth-pop arrangement, call-and-response backing] i sold my soul, i sold my soul. i made a deal to make her whole. with midnight ink and devil's grace. i bought my place beside her face. i sold my soul, i sold my soul. i paid the price to play my role. from light to dark, from free to bound. i gave it all to have her found. [bridge - dramatic spoken section] [music strips to bass and snaps, theatrical delivery] they say the devil cheats, but i was just devoted. they say the price is high, but love cannot be quoted. i gave him everything, my light, my voice, my name. he took it all and left me with this hollow, burning flame. [beat stops for one second] but you know what. i would sign it all again. [final chorus - maximum energy, euphoric] [full arrangement, layered synths, gang vocals on hook] i sold my soul, i sold my soul. i made a deal to make her whole. with midnight ink and devil's grace. i bought my place beside her face. i sold my soul, i sold my soul. i paid the price to play my role. from light to dark, from free to bound. i gave it all to have her found. [outro - synth fade] [arpeggio returns, beat fades, vocal echoes] i sold my soul... but i would do it again... [arpeggio: one last a minor phrase, decaying]
