Taken
Evil Adam Lyrics

What they took from me,
The thing that was taken from me was what I could have achieved.

Was what I could be,
I lost the possibility of becoming something great.

Was what I could do,
I lost the ability to achieve what I could have achieved.

When I believed in you.
All my motivation and inspiration were founded on you, and now those things are gone.

When they took your life,
Your physical absence caused a great impact on my mental and emotional state.

They took away my mind.
I lost my ability to think and make decisions after your death.

When they stopped your heart,
Your absence ended a piece of humanity that I kept close to my heart.

They ended all your kind.
Your essence, what made you who you were, is now gone with you.

Taken was your mind.
The thing that was taken from you was your ability to think and reason.

Taken was your soul.
The essence of who you were as a person was taken away.

Taken was what's mine,
The things that I had and cherished were taken away from me.

Leaving just a hole.
All that's left is a gap that can never be filled.

When I told myself,
When I convinced myself that I couldn't be like you.

I could never be like you,
I couldn't aspire to be like you because I thought it was impossible.

I told myself a lie,
It was a deception that I convinced myself with.

Cause imitating all I do.
Mimicking the things that you did because I respected and cherished you.

Then I look at all of,
When I looked back at everything that was said about me.

The things that were said of me,
The characteristics that people attributed to me that drove you away.

And all of what was said,
The things that others said about me reduced me to nothing.

Was what made you leave.
All of these things pushed you away.

I lost it all before.
I've experienced loss before.

I lost it too a friend.
I lost it before to someone who was close to me.

You've been taken away again.
You were taken away from me once again.

So now that it's all gone,
Now that everything that was dear to me is gone.

I wonder what went wrong.
I'm at a loss as to what went wrong.

I wonder where'd you be,
I contemplate where you could have been if the roles were reversed.

If you had to switch with me.
If fate had let you experience what I went through.

I know that you'd still try,
Despite the difficulty, I believe you would put in the effort.

After it's too late.
But it would be too late to fix things by then.

But if you had to kill me,
If it came down to it and you were forced to end me.

Would you hesitate.
Would you still take that action despite our relationship.

Taken was my life.
I lost everything that defined my existence.

Leaving nothing left.
There is nothing left for me that has value.

But my world out of control.
My life and everything around me feels like it's falling apart.
