I stole this idea from another forum.. my bad. But it's a good idea, may be useful as a sticky? It's lyrics to all albums.. Origin, Fallen, Anywhere But Home, etc.

1. Where Will You Go

You're too important for anyone

You play the role of all you long to be

But I, I know who you really are

You're the one who cries when you're alone

 

[Chorus:]

But where will you go

With no one left to save you from yourself

You can't escape

You can't escape

 

You think that I can't see right through your eyes

Scared to death to face reality

No one seems to hear your hidden cries

You�re left to face yourself alone

 

[Chorus:]

But where will you go (where will you go)

With no one left to save you from yourself

You can't escape

The truth

I realize you're afraid (I realize)

But you can't abandon everyone

You can't escape

You don't want to escape

 

I'm so sick of speaking words that no one understands

Is it clear enough that you can't live your whole life all alone?

I can hear you when you whisper

But you can't even hear me screaming

 

[Chorus:]

Where will you go (where will you go)

With no one left to save you from yourself

You can't escape

The truth

I realize you're afraid (I realize)

But you can't reject the whole world

You can't escape

You won't escape

You can't escape

You don't want to escape

 

2. Solitude

How many times have you told me you love her?

As many times as I wanted to tell you the truth

How long have I stood here, beside you?

I lived through you; you looked through me

 

Ooo, solitude

Still with me is only you

Ooo, solitude

I can't stay away from you

 

How many times have I done this to myself?

How long will it take before I see?

When will this hole in my heart be mended?

Who now is left alone but me?

 

Ooo, solitude

Forever me and forever you

Ooo, solitude

Only you, Only true

 

Everyone leaves me stranded

Forgotten, abandoned, left behind.

I can't stay here another night

 

Your secret admirer

Who could it be?

 

Ooo..

Can't you see all along it was me?

How can you be so blind as to see right through me?

 

Solitude

Still with me is only you

Ooo, solitude

I can't stay away from you

 

Ooo, solitude

Forever me and forever you

Ooo, solitude

Only you, only true

 

3. Imaginary (Demo)

Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming

Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights

Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming

The goddess of imaginary light

 

In my field of paper flowers

And candy cloulds of lullabies

I lie inside myself for hours

And watch my purple sky fly over me

flowers

 

I linger in the doorway

Of alarm clocks screaming monsters

Calling my name

Let me stay

Where the wind will whisper to me

Where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story

 

If you need to leave the world you live in

Lay your head down and stay a while flowers

Though you may not remember dreaming

Something waits for you to breathe again flowers

 

4. Exodus

My black backpack stuffed with broken dreams

Twenty bucks should get me through the week

Never said a word of discontentment

Thought it a thousand times but now

I'm leaving home

 

Here in the shadows

I'm safe, I'm free

I've nowhere else to go

But I cannot stay where I don't belong

 

Two months pass by and it's getting cold

I know I'm not lost I'm just alone

But I won't cry, I won't give up, I can't go back now

Waking up is knowing who you really are

 

Here in the shadows

I'm safe, I'm free

I've nowhere else to go

But I cannot stay where I don't belong

 

In the shadows

I'm safe, I'm free

I've nowhere else to go

But I cannot stay here

Oh, show me the shadow where true meaning lies

So much more dismay in empty eyes

 

5. So Close

I've spent so much time throwing rocks at your window

That I never even knocked on the front door

 

Ooh...

Ooh...

Ooh...

 

I walk by statues never even made one chip

But if I could leave a mark on the monument of the heart

I just might lay myself down for a little more than I had the last day

The last day

The last day

Oooh..

 

Wait a time to spare these lies we tell ourselves

These days have come and gone

But this time is sweeter than honey

 

6. Understanding

You hold the answer deep within your own mind. Consciously you've forgotten it. That's the way the human mind works. Whenever something is too unpleasant, too shameful for us to entertain we reject it, we erase it from our memory, but the imprint is always there.

 

Oooh..

We wash it all away, we wish it all away, we hope it all away, can't cry it all away.

 

The pain that grips you

The fear that binds you

Releases life in me

In our mutual shame we hide our eyes

To blind them from the truth that finds a way for who we are

 

Please don't be afraid

When the darkness fades away

The dawn will break the silence screaming at our hearts

My love for you still grows

This I do for you

Before I try to fight the truth my final time

 

We're supposed to try and be real and when you feel alone, you are not together, and that is real.

 

Can't wash it all away

Can't wish it all away

Can't cry it all away

Can't scratch it all away

 

Lying beside you

Listening to you breathe

The light that flows inside of you burns inside of me

Hold and speak to me

Of love without a sound

Tell me you will live through this and I will die for you

Cast me not away

Say you'll be with me

For I know I cannot bear it all alone

 

You're not alone, honey, Never. Never.

 

Can't fight it all away

Can't hope it all away

Can't scream it all away

It just won't fade away, no...

 

Oooh.. can't wash it all away

Can't wish it all away, yeah, yeah yeah.

Can't throw it all away

Can't scratch it all away, yeah....

 

Can't fight it all away

Can't hope it all away

Can't scream it all away

Move it all away

Move it all away

 

But the imprint is always there, nothing is ever really forgotten

 

Please don't hate me

Because I'll die if you do

 

7. The End

2. Whisper

 

Catch me as I fall

Say you're here and it's all over now

Speaking to the atmosphere

No one's here and I fall into myself

This truth drive me

Into madness

I know I can stop the pain

If I will it all away

 

[CHORUS:]

Don't turn away

(Don't give in to the pain)

Don't try to hide

(Though they're screaming your name)

Don't close your eyes

(God knows what lies behind them)

Don't turn out the light

(Never sleep never die)

 

I'm frightened by what I see

But somehow I know

That there's much more to come

Immobilized by my fear

And soon to be

Blinded by tears

I can stop the pain

If I will it all away

 

[Chorus]

 

3. Imaginary

Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming

Cannot cease for the fear

Of silent nights

Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming

The goddess of imaginary light

 

[CHORUS:]

In my field of paper flowers

And candy clouds of lullaby

I lie inside myself for hours

And watch my purple sky fly over me

 

I linger in the doorway

Of alarm clock screaming monsters

Calling my name

Let me stay

Where the wind will whisper to me

Where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story

 

[Chorus]

 

If you need to leave the world you live in

Lay your head down and stay a while

Though you may not remember dreaming

Something waits for you to breathe again

 

4. My Immortal

 

I'm so tired of being here

Suppressed by all my childish fears

And if you have to leave

I wish that you would just leave

'Cause your presence still lingers here

And it won't leave me alone

 

These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just too real

There's just too much that time cannot erase

 

[CHORUS:]

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears

I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have

All of me

 

You used to captivate me

By your resonating light

Now I'm bound by the life you left behind

Your face it haunts

My once pleasant dreams

Your voice it chased away

All the sanity in me

 

These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just too real

There's just too much that time cannot erase

 

[Chorus]

 

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone

But though you're still with me

I've been alone all along

 

[Chorus]

 

5. Where Will You Go

 

You're too important for anyone

You play the role of all you long to be

But I, I know who you really are

You're the one who cries when you're alone

 

[Chorus:]

But where will you go

With no one left to save you from yourself

You can't escape

You can't escape

 

You think that I can't see right through your eyes

Scared to death to face reality

No one seems to hear your hidden cries

You�re left to face yourself alone

 

[Chorus:]

But where will you go (where will you go)

With no one left to save you from yourself

You can't escape

The truth

I realize you're afraid (I realize)

But you can't abandon everyone

You can't escape

You don't want to escape

 

I'm so sick of speaking words that no one understands

Is it clear enough that you can't live your whole life all alone?

I can hear you when you whisper

But you can't even hear me screaming

 

[Chorus:]

Where will you go (where will you go)

With no one left to save you from yourself

You can't escape

The truth

I realize you're afraid (I realize)

But you can't reject the whole world

You can't escape

You won't escape

You can't escape

You don't want to escape

 

6. Field of Innocence

 

I still remember the world

From the eyes of a child

Slowly those feelings

Were clouded by what I know now

 

Where has my heart gone

An uneven trade for the real world

I want to go back to

Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all

 

I still remember the sun

Always warm on my back

Somehow it seems colder now

 

Where has my heart gone

Trapped in the eyes of a stranger

I want to go back to

Believing in everything

 

7. Even in Death

 

Give me a reason to believe that you're gone

I see your shadow so I know they're all wrong

Moonlight on the soft brown earth

It leads me to where you lay

They took you away from me but now I'm taking you home

 

[CHORUS:]

I will stay forever here with you

My love

The softly spoken words you gave me

Even in death our love goes on

 

Some say I'm crazy for my love, Oh my love

But no bonds can hold me from your side, Oh my love

They don't know you can't leave me

They don't hear you singing to me

 

[Chorus]

 

And I can't love you, anymore than I do

 

8. Anywhere

 

Dear my love haven’t you wanted to be with me

And dear my love haven’t you longed to be free?

I can’t keep pretending that I don’t even know you

And at sweet night you are my own

Take my hand

 

[CHORUS:]

We're leaving here tonight

There's no need to tell anyone

They'd only hold us down

So by the morning light

We'll be half way to anywhere

Where love is more than just your name

 

I have dreamt of a place for you and I

No one knows who we are there

All I want is to give my life only to you

I've dreamt so long I cannot dream anymore

Let's run away, I'll take you there

 

[Chorus]

 

Forget this life

Come with me

Don't look back you're safe now

Unlock your heart

Drop your guard

No one's left to stop you

 

Forget this life

Come with me

Don't look back you're safe now

Unlock your heart

Drop your guard

No one's left to stop you now

 

[Chorus]

 

9. Lies

 

Bound at every limb by my shackles of fear

Sealed with lies through so many tears

Lost from within, pursuing the end

I fight for the chance to be lied to again

 

You will never be strong enough

You will never be good enough

You were never conceived in love

You will not rise above

 

[CHORUS:]

They'll never see

I'll never be

I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger

Burning deep inside of me

 

But through my tears breaks a blinding light

Birthing a dawn to this endless night

Arms outstretched, awaiting me

An open embrace upon a bleeding tree

 

Rest in me and I'll comfort you

I have lived and I died for you

Abide in me and I vow to you

I will never forsake you

 

10. Away From Me

 

I hold my breath as this life starts to take its toll

I hide behind a smile as this perfect plan unfolds

But oh, God, I feel I've been lied to

Lost all faith in the things I have achieved

And I

 

[CHORUS:]

I've woken now to find myself

In the shadows of all I have created

I'm longing to be lost in you

(away from this place I have made)

Won't you take me away from me

 

Crawling through this world as disease flows through my veins

I look into myself, but my own heart has been changed

I can't go on like this

I loathe all I've become

 

[Chorus]

 

Lost in a dying world I reach for something more

I have grown so weary of this lie I live

 

[Chorus]

 

11. Eternal

 

-Instrumental-

 

12. Listen To The Rain

 

Listen listen

Listen listen

Listen listen

Listen listen

Listen (listen) listen (listen)

Listen (listen) listen (listen)

Listen (listen) listen (listen)

Listen listen

 

listen to each drop of rain

whispering secrets in vain

frantically searching for someone to hear

their story before they hit ground

please dont let go, can't we stay for awhile

its just so hard to say goodbye...

listen to the rain

listen to the rain weeping...

 

 

Aa...ah

Listen listen listen listen listen listen to the rain

Weeping

Oo...ooh oooh ooh oo...ooh

Oo...ooh oooh oh oh

 

Listen (listen) listen (listen)

Listen (listen) listen

 

i stand alone in the storm

suddenly sweet words take form

hurry, they say, for you havent much time

open your eyes to the love around you

you may feel you're alone

but Im here still with you

you can do what you dream

just remember to listen to the rain

 

 

oo...ooh oh oh oh oh

ooh ooh oh oh oooh

Listen

 

Evanescence - Fallen

Released March 4th, 2003

1. Going Under

 

Now I will tell you what I've done for you

50 thousand tears I've cried

Screaming deceiving and bleeding for you

And you still won't hear me

Don't want your hand this time I'll save myself

Maybe I'll wake up for once

Not tormented daily defeated by you

Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom

I'm dying again

 

I'm going under

Drowning in you

I'm falling forever

I've got to break through

I'm going under

 

Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies

So I don't know what's real and what's not

Always confusing the thoughts in my head

So I can't trust myself anymore

I'm dying again

 

I'm going under

Drowning in you

I'm falling forever

I've got to break through

 

So go on and scream

Scream at me I'm so far away

I won't be broken again

I've got to breathe - I can't keep going under

 

2. Bring Me To Life

 

How can you see into my eyes like open doors

Leading you down into my core

Where I've become so numb without a soul

My spirit sleeping somewhere cold

Until you find it there and lead it back home

 

Wake me up inside

Wake me up inside

Call my name and save me from the dark

Bid my blood to run

Before I come undone

Save me from the nothing I've become

 

Now that I know what I'm without

You can't just leave me

Breathe into me and make me real

Bring me to life

 

Wake me up inside

Wake me up inside

Call my name and save me from the dark

Bid my blood to run

Before I come undone

Save me from the nothing I've become

Bring me to life

 

Frozen inside without your touch

Without your love - darling - only you

Are the life among the dead

 

All of this time I can't believe I couldn't see

Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me

I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems

Got to open my eyes to everything

Without a thought without a voice without a soul

Don't let me die here

There must be something more

Bring me to life

 

3. Everybody's Fool

 

Perfect by nature

Icons of self indulgence

Just what we all need

More lies about a world that

Never was and never will be

Have you no shame, don't you see me?

You know you've got everybody fooled

 

Look here she comes now

Bow down and stare in wonder

Oh how we love you

No flaws when you're pretending

 

But now I know she

Never was and never will be

You don't know how you've betrayed me

And somehow you've got everybody fooled

 

Without the mask where will you hide

Can't find yourself - lost in your lie

 

I know the truth now

I know who you are

And I don't love you anymore

 

It never was and never will be

You're not real and you can't save me

Somehow now you're everybody's fool

 

4. My Immortal

 

I'm so tired of being here

Suppressed by all my childish fears

And if you have to leave

I wish that you would just leave

'Cause your presence still lingers here

And it won't leave me alone

 

These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just too real

There's just too much that time cannot erase

 

[CHORUS:]

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears

I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have

All of me

 

You used to captivate me

By your resonating light

Now I'm bound by the life you left behind

Your face it haunts

My once pleasant dreams

Your voice it chased away

All the sanity in me

 

These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just too real

There's just too much that time cannot erase

 

[Chorus]

 

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone

But though you're still with me

I've been alone all along

 

[Chorus]

 

5. Haunted

 

Long lost words whisper slowly to me

Still can't find what keeps me here

When all this time I've been so hollow inside

 

I know you're still there

 

Watching me, wanting me

I can feel you pull me down

Fearing you, loving you

I won't let you pull me down

 

Hunting you I can smell you - alive

Your heart pounding in my head

 

Watching me, wanting me

I can feel you pull me down

Saving me, raping me

Watching me

 

Watching me, wanting me

I can feel you pull me down

Fearing you, loving you

I won't let you pull me down

 

6. Tourniquet

 

I tried to kill the pain

But only brought more so much more

I lay dying

And I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal

 

I'm dying dying

Praying praying

Bleeding bleeding

And screaming

Am I too lost to be saved?

Am I too lost?

 

My God, my tourniquet

Return to me salvation

My God, my tourniquet

Return to me salvation

 

Do you remember me?

Lost for so long

Will you be on the other side?

Will you forget me?

 

 

I'm dying dying

Praying praying

Bleeding bleeding

And screaming

Am I too lost to be saved?

Am I too lost?

 

My God, my tourniquet

Return to me salvation

My God, my tourniquet

Return to me salvation

 

[i long to die..]

 

My God, my tourniquet

Return to me salvation

My God, my tourniquet

Return to me salvation

 

My wounds cry for the grave

My soul cries for deliverance

Will I be denied?

Christ - tourniquet - my suicide

 

7. Imaginary

 

Paper flowers...

Paper flowers...

 

I linger in the doorway

Of alarm clock screaming monsters calling my name

Let me stay

Where the wind will whisper to me

Where the raindrops as they’re falling tell a story

 

[CHORUS:]

In my field of paper flowers

And candy clouds of lullaby

I lie inside myself for hours

And watch my purple sky fly over me

 

Don’t say I’m out of touch

With this rampant chaos - your reality

I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge

The nightmare I built my own world to escape

 

[Chorus]

 

Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming

Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights

Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming

The goddess of imaginary light

 

[Chorus]

 

Paper flowers...

Paper flowers...

 

8. Taking Over Me

 

You don't remember me but I remember you

I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you

But who can decide what they dream?

And dream I do

 

I believe in you

I'll give up everything just to find you

I have to be with you to live to breathe

You're taking over me

 

Have you forgotten all I know and all we had?

You saw me mourning my love for you and touched my hand

I knew you loved me then

 

I believe in you

I'll give up everything just to find you

I have to be with you to live to breathe

You're taking over me

 

I look in the mirror and see your face

If I look deep enough

So many things inside that are just like you are taking over

 

I believe in you

I'll give up everything just to find you

I have to be with you to live to breathe

You're taking over me

 

I believe in you

I'll give up everything just to find you

I have to be with you to live to breathe

You're taking over me

You're taking over me

 

9. Hello

 

Playground school bell rings - again

Rain clouds come to play again

 

Has no one told you she's not breathing?

Hello, I'm your mind

Giving you someone to talk to

Hello

 

If I smile and don't - believe

Soon I know I'll wake from this dream

 

Don't try to fix me I'm not broken

Hello, I'm the lie

Living for you so you can hide

Don't cry

 

Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping

Hello, I'm still here

All that's left of yesterday

 

10. My Last Breath

 

Hold on to me love

You know I can't stay long

All I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid

Can you hear me?

Can you feel me in your arms?

 

Holding my last breath

Safe inside myself

Are all my thoughts of you

Sweet raptured light it ends here tonight

 

I'll miss the winter

A world of fragile things

Look for me in the white forest

Hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)

I know you hear me

I can taste it in your tears

 

Holding my last breath

Safe inside myself

Are all my thoughts of you?

Sweet raptured light it ends here tonight

 

Closing your eyes to disappear

You pray your dreams will leave you here

But still you wake and know the truth

No one's there

 

Say goodnight

Don't be afraid

Calling me calling me as you fade to black

 

11. Whisper

 

Catch me as I fall

Say you're here and it's all over now

Speaking to the atmosphere

No one's here and I fall into myself

This truth drive me

Into madness

I know I can stop the pain

If I will it all away

 

[CHORUS:]

Don't turn away

(Don't give in to the pain)

Don't try to hide

(Though they're screaming your name)

Don't close your eyes

(God knows what lies behind them)

Don't turn out the light

(Never sleep never die)

 

I'm frightened by what I see

But somehow I know

That there's much more to come

Immobilized by my fear

And soon to be

Blinded by tears

I can stop the pain

If I will it all away

 

[Chorus]

 

Fallen angels at my feet

Whispered voices at my ear

Death before my eyes

Lying next to me I fear

She beckons me

Shall I give in

Upon my end shall I begin

Forsaking all I've fallen for

I rise to meet my end

8. Breathe No More

 

I've been looking in the mirror for so long

That I've come to believe my soul's on the other side

All the little pieces falling shatter

Shards of me too sharp to put back together

Too small to matter

But big enough to cut me into so many little pieces

If I try to touch her and I bleed

I bleed

And I breathe

I breathe no more

 

Take a breath and I try to draw from my spirit's well

Yet again you refuse to drink like a stubborn child

Lie to me

Convince me that I've been sick forever

And all of this will make sense when I get better

 

But I know the difference

Between myself and my reflection

I just can't help but to wonder

Which of us do you love?

 

So I bleed

I bleed

And I breathe

I breathe no -

Bleed

I bleed

And I breathe

I breathe

I breathe

I breathe no more

 

14. Missing

 

(Can you stop the fire? Please.. please.. please - you can’t stop the fire)

(Can you stand to fight her - you won’t say the words)

 

Please, please forgive me

but I won't be home again

Maybe someday you'll look up

and barely conscious you'll say to no one

isn't something missing?

 

You won't cry for my absence, I know

you forgot me long ago

Am I that unimportant?

Am I so insignificant?

Isn't something missing?

Isn't someone missing me?

 

Even though I'm the sacrifice

you won't try for me, not now

though I die to know you love me

I'm all alone

Isn't someone missing me?

 

(Can you stop the fire? Please.. please.. please - you can’t stop the fire)

(Can you stand to fight her - you won’t say the words)

 

Please, please forgive me

but I won't be home again

I know what you do to yourself

I breathe deep and cry out

Isn't something missing?

Isn't someone missing me?

 

Even though I'm the sacrifice

you won't try for me, not now

though I die to know you love me

I'm all alone

Isn't someone missing me?

 

And if I bleed, I'll bleed

knowing you don't care

and if I sleep just to dream of you

and wake without you there

isn't something missing?

isn't something..

 

Even though I'm the sacrifice

you won't try for me not now

though I died to know you love me

I'm all alone

Isn't something missing?

Isn't someone missing me?

 

(Can you stop the fire? Please.. please.. please - you can’t stop the fire)

(Can you stand to fight her - you won’t say the words)

1. Sweet Sacrifice

 

It's true, we're all a little insane

but its so clear

now that I'm unchained

 

fear is only in our minds

taking over all the time

fear is only in our minds but its taking over all the time

 

you poor sweet innocent thing

dry your eyes and testify

you know you live to break me- don't deny

sweet sacrifice

 

One day I'm gonna forget your name

and one sweet day, you're gonna drown in my lost pain

 

fear is only in our minds

taking over all the time

fear is only in our minds but its taking over all the time

 

you poor sweet innocent thing

dry your eyes and testify

and oh you love to hate me don't you, honey?

I'm your sacrifice.

 

[i dream in darkness

I sleep to die e

rase the silence

erase my life

our burning ashes

blacken the day

a world of nothingness

blow me away]

 

do you wonder why you hate?

are you still too weak to survive your mistakes?

 

you poor sweet innocent thing

dry your eyes and testify

you know you live to break me- don't deny

sweet sacrifice

 

2. Call Me When You're Sober

 

Don't cry to me

If you loved me

You would be here with me

You want me

Come find me

Make up your mind

 

Should I let you fall

Lose it all

So maybe you can remember yourself

Can't keep believing

We're only deceiving ourselves

And I'm sick of the lie

And you're too late

 

Don't cry to me

If you loved me

You would be here with me

You want me

Come find me

Make up your mind

 

Couldn't take the blame

Sick with shame

Must be exhausting to lose your own game

Selfishly hated

No wonder you're jaded

You can't play the victim this time

And you're too late

 

Don't cry to me

If you loved me

You would be here with me

You want me

Come find me

Make up your mind

 

You never call me when you're sober

You only want it cause it's over

It's over

 

How could I have burned paradise

How could I - you were never mine!

 

So don't cry to me

If you loved me

You would be here with me

Don't lie to me

Just get your things

I've made up your mind

 

3. Weight of the World

 

Feels like the weight of the world

like God in heaven gave me a turn

don't cling to me, I swear I can't fix you

still in the dark, can you fix me?

 

freefall, freefall, all through life

 

If you love me, then let go of me

I wont be held down by who I used to be

she's nothing to me

 

Feels like the weight of the world

like all my screaming has gone unheard

and ohm I know you don't believe in me

safe in the dark, how can you see?

 

freefall, freefall, all through life

 

If you love me, then let go of me

I wont be held down by who I was

If you love me, then let go of me

I won't be held down by who I used to be

 

4. LIthium

 

Lithium- don't want to lock me up inside

lithium- don't want to forget how it feels without

lithium- I want to stay in love with my sorrow

oh but God I want to let it go

 

come to bed, don't make me sleep alone

couldn't hide the emptiness you let it show

never wanted it to be so cold

just didn't drink enough to say you love me

 

I can't hold on to me

wonder what's wrong with me

 

Lithium- don't want to lock me up inside

lithium- don't want to forget how it feels without

lithium- I want to stay in love with my sorrow

 

Don't want to let it lay me down this time

drown my will to fly

here in the darkness I know myself

can't break free until I let it go

let me go

 

Darling, I forgive you after all

anything is better than to be alone

and in the end I guess I had to fall

always find my place among the ashes

 

I can't hold on to me

wonder what's wrong with me

 

Lithium- don't want to lock me up inside

lithium- don't want to forget how it feels without

lithium...stay in love, mm-hmm

ah, I'm gonna let it go

 

5. Cloud Nine

 

If you want to live, let live

if you want to go, let go

I'm not afraid to dream- to sleep, sleep forever

I don't need to touch the sky

I just want to feel that high

and you refuse to lift me

 

guess it wasn't real after all

guess it wasn't real all along

 

If I fall and all is lost

its where I belong

 

If you want to live, let live

if you want to go, let go

I'm never gonna be your sweet, sweet surrender

 

guess it wasn't real after all

guess it wasn't real all along

 

If I fall and all is lost

no light to lead the way

remember that all alone is where I belong

 

In a dream

will you give your love to me

beg my broken heart to beat

save my life

change my mind

 

If I fall and all is lost

no light to lead the way

remember that all alone is where I belong

 

6. Snow White Queen

 

stoplight lock the door

don't look back

undress in the dark

and hide from you

all of you

 

You'll never know the way your words have haunted me

I can't believe you'd ask these things of me

you don't know me

 

You belong to me

my snow white queen

there's nowhere to run, so lets just get it over

soon I know you'll see

you're just like me

don't scream anymore my love, cause all I want is you

 

Wake up in a dream

frozen fear

all your hands on me

I can't scream

 

I can't escape the twisted way you think of me

I feel you in my dreams and I don't sleep

 

You belong to me

my snow white queen

there's nowhere to run, so lets just get it over

soon I know you'll see

you're just like me

don't scream anymore my love, cause all I want is you

 

I can't save your life

though nothing I bleed for is more tormenting

I'm losing my mind and you just stand there and stare as my world divides

 

You belong to me

my snow white queen

there's nowhere to run, so lets just get it over

soon I know you'll see

you're just like me

 

7. Lacrymosa

 

Out on your own

cold and alone again

can this be what you really wanted, baby?

 

Blame it on me

set your guilt free

nothing can hold you back now

 

Now that you're gone

I feel like myself again

grieving the things I can't repair and willing ...

 

to let you blame it on me

and set your guilt free

I don't want to hold you back now love

 

I can't change who I am

not this time, I wont lie to keep you near me

and in this short life, there's no time to waste on giving up

my love wasn't enough

 

and you can blame it on me

just set your guilt free, honey

I don't want to hold you back now love

 

8. Like You

 

Stay low

soft, dark, and dreamless

far beneath my nightmares and loneliness

I hate me

for breathing without you

I don't want to feel anymore for you

 

grieving for you

I'm not grieving for you

nothing real love can't undo

and though I may have lost my way

all paths lead straight to you

 

I long to be like you

lie cold in the ground like you

 

Halo

blinding wall between us

melt away and leave us alone again

humming, haunted somewhere out there

I believe our love can see us through in death

 

I long to be like you

lie cold in the ground like you

there's room inside for two and I'm not grieving for you

I'm coming for you

 

You're not alone

no matter what they told you you're not alone

I'll be right beside you forevermore

 

I long to be like you, sis

lie cold in the ground like you did

there's room inside for two and I'm not grieving for you

and as we lay in silent bliss

I know you remember me

I long to be like you

lie cold in the ground like you

there's room inside for two and I'm not grieving for you

I'm coming for you

 

9. Lose Control

 

You don't remember my name

I don't really care

can we play the game your way?

can I really lose control?

 

just once in my life

I think it'd be nice

just to lose control- just once

with all the pretty flowers in the dust

 

Mary had a lamb

his eyes black as coals

if we play very quiet, my lamb

Mary never has to know

 

just once in my life

I think it'd be nice

just to lose control- just once

 

if I cut you down to a thing I can use

I fear there will be nothing good left of you

 

10. The Only One

 

When they all come crashing down- midflight

you know you're not the only one

when they're so alone they find a back door out of life

you know you're not the only one

 

We're all grieving

lost and bleeding

 

All our lives

we've been waiting

for someone to call our leader

all your lies

I'm not believing

heaven shine a light down on me

 

So afraid to open your eyes- hypnotized

you know you're not the only one

never understood this life

and you're right I don't deserve but you know I'm not the only one

 

We're all grieving

lost and bleeding

 

All our lives

we've been waiting

for someone to call our leader

all your lies

I'm not believing

heaven shine a light down on me

 

Don't look down

don't look into the eyes of the world beneath you

don't look down, you'll fall down,

you'll become their sacrifice

right or wrong

can't hold onto the fear that I'm lost without you

if I can't feel, I'm not mine,

I'm not real

 

All our lives

we've been waiting

for someone to call our leader

all your lies

I'm not believing

heaven shine a light down on me

 

11. Your Star

 

I can't see your star

I can't see your star

though I patiently waited, bedside, for the death of today

I can't see your star

the mechanical lights of Lisbon frightened it away

 

and I'm alone now

me and all I stood for

we're wandering now

all in parts in pieces, swim lonely

find your own way out

 

I can't see your star

I can't see your star

how can the darkness feel so wrong?

 

and I'm alone now

me and all I stood for

we're wandering now

all in parts in pieces, swim lonely

find your own way out

 

So far away

its growing colder without your love

why can't you feel me calling your name?

can't break the silence

its breaking me

 

all my fears turn to rage

 

and I'm alone now me

and all I stood for

we're wandering now

all in parts and pieces, swim lonely

find your own way out

 

yeah...nothing worth fighting for

we're wandering now

all in parts and pieces, swim lonely

find your own way out

 

12. All That I'm Living For

 

All that I'm living for

all that I'm dying for

all that I can't ignore alone at night

 

I can feel the night beginning

separate me from the living

understanding me

after all I've seen

piecing every thought together

find the words to make me better

if I only knew how to pull myself apart

 

All that I'm living for

all that I'm dying for

all that I can't ignore alone at night

all that I'm wanted for

although I wanted more

lock the last open door- my ghosts are gaining on me

 

I believe that dreams are sacred

take my darkest fears and play them

like a lullaby

like a reason why

like a play of my obsessions

make me understand the lesson

so I'll find myself

so I wont be lost again

 

All that I'm living for

all that I'm dying for

all that I can't ignore alone at night

all that I'm wanted for

although I wanted more

lock the last open door- my ghosts are gaining on me

 

Guess I thought I'd have to change the world

to make you see me

to be the one

I could have run forever

but how for would I have come

without mourning your love?

 

All that I'm living for

all that I'm dying for

all that I can't ignore alone at night

all that I'm wanted for

although I wanted more

lock the last open door- my ghosts are gaining on me

 

should it hurt to love you?

should I feel like I do?

should I lock the last open door-

my ghosts are gaining on me

 

13. Good Enough

 

Under your spell again

I can't say no to you

crave my heart and its bleeding in your hand

I can't say no to you

 

Shouldn't have let you torture me so sweetly

now I can't let go of this dream

I can't breathe but I feel

 

Good enough

I feel good enough for you

 

Drink up sweet decadence

I can't say no to you

and I've completely lost myself and I don't mind

I can't say no to you

 

Shouldn't have let you conquer me completely

now I can't let go of this dream

can't believe that I feel

 

Good enough

I feel good enough

its been such a long time coming, but I feel good

 

and I'm still waiting for the rain to fall

pour real life down on me

cause I can't hold on to anything this good

enough

am I good enough

for you to love me too?

 

so take care what you ask of me

cause I can't say no

 

14. The Last Song I'm Wasting on You [bonus Track]

Sparkling grey

Through my own veins

Any more than a whisper

Any sudden movement of my heart

And I know, I know I'll have to watch them pass away

 

Just get through this day

 

Give up your way, you could be anything,

Give up my way,

and lose myself,

not today

That's too much guilt to pay

 

Sickened in the sun

You dare tell me you love me

But you held me down and screamed you wanted me to die

Honey you know, you know I'd never hurt you that way

 

You're just so pretty in your pain

 

Give up my way, and I could be anything

I'll make my own way

Without your senseless hate....hate...hate.....hate

 

So run, run, run

And hate me, if it feels good

I can't hear your screams anymore

 

You lied to me

But I'm older now

And I'm not buying baby

 

Demanding my response

Don't bother breaking the door down

I found my way out

 

And you'll never hurt me again

 

Evanescence - Other Songs

 

Bleed (I Must Be Dreaming)

 

How can I pretend that I don't see

What you hide so carelessly?

I saw her bleed

You heard me breathe and

I froze inside myself and turned away

I must be dreaming

 

We all live

We all die

That does not begin to justify you

 

It's not what it seems

Not what you think

No, I must be dreaming

It's only in my mind

Not real life

No, I must be dreaming

 

Help - I know I've got to tell someone

Tell them what I know you've done

I fear you

But spoken fears can come true

 

We all live

We all die

That does not begin to justify you

 

It's not what it seems

Not what you think

No, I must be dreaming

It's only in my mind

Not real life

No, I must be dreaming

 

We all live

We all die

That does not begin to justify you

 

It's not what it seems

Not what you think

No, I must be dreaming

It's only in my mind

Not real life

No, I must be dreaming

 

Not what it seems

Not what you think

I must be dreaming

Just in my mind

Not real life

I must be dreaming

 

Give Unto Me

 

I've been watching you from a distance

The distance sees through your disguise

All I want from you is your hurting

I want to heal you

I want to save you from the dark

 

Give unto me your troubles

I'll endure your suffering

Place onto me your burden

I'll drink your deadly poison

 

Why should I care if they hurt you

Somehow it matters more to me

Than if I were hurting myself

Save you (save you)

I'll save you

 

Give unto me your troubles

I'll endure your suffering

Place onto me your burden

I'll drink your deadly poison

 

Fear not the flame of my love's candle

Let it be the sun in your world of darkness

Give unto me all that frightens you

I'll have your nightmares for you

If you sleep soundly

 

Give unto me your troubles

I'll endure your suffering

Place onto me your burden

I'll drink your deadly poison

 

Fear not the flame of my love's candle

Let it be the sun in your world of darkness

Give unto me all that frightens you

I'll have your nightmares for you

If you sleep soundly

 

Fear not the flame of my love's candle

Let it be the sun in your world of darkness

 

Forever Gone, Forever You

 

I wanted you to be with me

For so long I don't even know why now

But now that I've given up on you

Defiantly you see me

 

Walking away I see the pain

You put me through

Lost in your game to change the same

Forever gone, forever you

 

There's something very wrong about this

I think you knew all along somehow

You'll only take me to change my mind

And leave me broken and defeated

 

So far away I see the truth

I see through you

Now that I know the way you play

I don't want to

 

Walking away I see the pain

You put me through

Lost in your game to change the same

Forever gone, forever you

 

Ascension of the Spirit

 

-Instrumental-

 

Farther Away

 

I took their smiles and I made them mine

I sold my soul just to hide the light

And now I see what I really am

A thief a whore and a liar

 

I run to you far away from this town

Call out your name giving up giving in

I see you there still you are

Farther away

 

Im numb to you

Numb and deaf and blind

You give me all but the reason why

I reach but I feel only air at night

Not you not love just nothing

 

I run to you far away from this town

Call out your name giving up giving in

I see you there still you are

Farther away

 

Tried to forget you, but without you, I feel nothing

Don't leave me here by myself I can't breathe

 

I run to you far away from this town

Call out your name giving up giving in

I see you there still you are

Farther away

 

I run to you far away from this town

Call out your name giving up giving in

I see you there still you are

Farther away

 

Farther away

 

October

 

I can't run anymore,

I fall before you,

Here I am,

I have nothing left,

Though I've tried to forget,

You're all that I am,

Take me home,

I'm through fighting it,

Broken,

Lifeless,

I give up,

You're my only strength,

Without you,

I can't go on,

Anymore,

Ever again.

 

My only hope,

(All the times I've tried)

My only peace,

(To walk away from you)

My only joy,

My only strength,

(I fall into your abounding grace)

My only power,

My only life,

(And love is where I am)

My only love.

 

I can't run anymore,

I give myself to you,

I'm sorry,

I'm sorry,

In all my bitterness,

I ignored,

All that's real and true,

All I need is you,

When night falls on me,

I'll not close my eyes,

I'm too alive,

And you're too strong,

I can't lie anymore,

I fall down before you,

I'm sorry,

I'm sorry.

 

My only hope,

(All the times I've tried)

My only peace,

(To walk away from you)

My only joy,

My only strength,

(I fall into your abounding grace)

My only power,

My only life,

(And love is where I am)

My only love.

 

Constantly ignoring,

The pain consuming me,

But this time it's cut too deep,

I'll never stray again.

 

My only hope,

(All the times I've tried)

My only peace,

(To walk away from you)

My only joy,

My only strength,

(I fall into your abounding grace)

My only power,

My only life,

(And love is where I am)

Forgive Me

 

Can you forgive me again?

I don't know what I said

But I didn't mean to hurt you

 

I heard the words come out

I felt that I would die

It hurt so much to hurt you

 

Then you look at me

You're not shouting anymore

You're silently broken

 

I'd give anything now

To kill those words for you

Each time I say something I regret I cry I don't want to lose you

But somehow I know that you will never leave me - yeah

 

'Cause you were made for me

Somehow I'll make you see

How happy you make me, oohh

 

I can't live this life

Without you by my side

I need you to survive

 

So stay with me

You look in my eyes and I'm screaming inside that I'm sorry

 

And you forgive me again

You're my one true friend

And I never meant to hurt you

 

Before The Dawn

 

Meet me after dark again and I'll hold you

I am nothing more than to see you there

 

And maybe tonight

We'll fly so far away

We'll be lost before the dawn

 

If only night could hold you and I can see you my love

Then let me never ever wake again

 

And maybe tonight

We'll fly so far away

We'll be lost before the dawn

 

Somehow I know that we can't wake again

From this dream it's not real but it's gone

 

Maybe tonight

We'll fly so far away

We'll be lost before the dawn

Maybe tonight

We'll fly so far away

We'll be lost before the dawn

 

Goodnight

 

Goodnight, sleep tight

No more tears

In the morning I'll be here

And when we say goodnight,

Dry your eyes

Because we said goodnight,

And not goodbye

We said goodnight

And not goodbye

 

Anything For You

 

I'd give anything to give me to you

Can you forget the world that you thought you knew

 

If you want me

Come and find me

Nothing's stopping you

So please release me

 

I'll believe all your lies

Just pretend you love me

Make believe, close your eyes

I'll be anything for you

 

Nothing left to make me feel anymore

There's only you and everyday I need more

 

If you want me

Come and find me

I'll do anything you say

Just tell me

 

I'll believe all your lies

Just pretend you love me

Make believe, close your eyes

I'll be anything for you

I'll believe all your lies

Just pretend you love me

Make believe, close your eyes

I'll be anything for you

 

Anything for you

 

I'll become your earth and sky

Forever never die

I'll be

Everything you need

 

I'll believe all your lies

Just pretend you love me

Make believe, close your eyes

I'll be anything for you

I'll believe all your lies

Just pretend you love me

Make believe, close your eyes

I'll be anything for you

 

Surrender

 

Is this real enough for you?

You were so confused

Now that you've decided to stay

We'll remain together

 

You can't abandon me

You belong to me

 

Breathe in and take my life in you

No longer myself only you

There's no escaping me my love

Surrender

 

Darling there's no sense in running

You know I will find you

Everything is perfect now

We can live forever

 

You can't abandon me

You belong to me

 

Breathe in and take my life in you

No longer myself only you

There's no escaping me my love

Surrender

 

Hands up slowly

Give in to me

 

Breathe in and take my life in you

No longer myself only you

There's no escaping me my love

Surrender
