Hello
Evanescence
Composição: Amy Lee / Ben Moody / David Hodges

Playground school bell rings again
Rain clouds come to play again
Has no one told you she's not breathing?
Hello I am 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 am 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

I Must Be Dreaming
Evanescence
Composição: Amy Lee / Ben Moody

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 (and)
We all die (but)
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! you 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 (and)
We all die (but)
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 (and)
We all die (but)
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 in real life
I must be dreaming

Imaginary (Evanescence EP)
Evanescence
Composição: Indisponível

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 clouds of lullaby (paper flowers)
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me (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

If you need to leave the world you live in
Lay your head down and stay a while (paper flowers)
Though you may not remember dreaming
Something waits for you to breathe again (paper flowers)

Lacrymosa
Evanescence
Composição: Amy Lee, Terry Balsamo

Out on your own
Cold and alone again
Can this be what your 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 wanna hold you back now love

I can't change who I am
Not this time, I won't 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 wanna hold you back now love

 

[helldanger1]

Like You
Evanescence
Composição: Amy Lee

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, dear
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

Lose Control
Evanescence
Composição: Amy Lee / Terry Balsamo

You don't remenber 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 pretty flowers in the dust)

Mary had a lamb
His eyes black as coals
If we a 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

(lose control, just once...)

Missing
Evanescence
Composição: Amy Lee/Ben Moody/David Hodges

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'd be sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you loved me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?

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'd be sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you loved 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
I'll wake without you there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something...

Even though I'd be sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you loved me,
I'm all alone.
isn´t something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?

My Immortal
Evanescence
Composição: Ben Moody / Amy Lee

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

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And 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've 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

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

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

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

My Last Breath
Evanescence
Composição: Amy Lee / Ben Moody / David Hodges

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

(Say goodnight)
Holding my last breath
(Don't be afraid)
Safe inside myself
(Calling me calling me as you)
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light it ends here tonight

Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light
It ends here tonight

October
Evanescence
Composição: Amy lee/Ben Moody/David Hodges/Henrique Olivier

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)
My only love,
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.

Origin
Evanescence
Composição: Ben Moody / David Hodges / Amy Lee

I'm sure it's getting darker
Don't make a sound
Don't make a sound

You hold the answer deep within your own mind
Death in its most hideous form

Reflections
Evanescence
Composição: Mulan

Look at me
I will never pass for a perfect bride
Or a perfect daughter
can it be
I'm not meant to play this part?
Now I see
That if I were truly
To be myself
I would break my fam'ly's heart

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight
Back at me?
Why is my reflection someone
I don't know?
Somehow I cannot hide
Who I am
Though I've tried
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside

Sally's Song
Evanescence
Composição: Danny Elfman

I sense there's something in the wind
That feels like tragedy's at hand
And though I'd like to stand by him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend

And does he notice my feelings for him?
And will he see how much he means to me?
I think it's not to be

What will become of my dear friend?
Where will his actions leaves us then?
Although I'd like to join the crowd
In their enthusiastic cloud
Try as I may, it doesn't last

And will we ever end up together?
Oh oh...

Oh oh... oh oh... oh oh... oh oh...
Oh oh... oh uhh... oh oh...

And will we ever, end up together?
No I think not, it's never to become
For I am not... the one.

Self Esteem
Evanescence
Composição: Dexter Holland/Offispring

I wrote her off for the tenth time today
And practiced all the things I would say
But she came over, I lost my nerve
I took her back and made her desert
Now I know I'm being used
That's okay, man, cause I like the abuse
I know she's playing with me
But that's ok cause I got no self esteem

We make plans to go out at night
I wait till 2 then I turn out the light
All this rejection's got me so low
If she keeps it up I just might tell her so

When she's saying, oh, that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's saying, oh, that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess, I should stick up for myself
But I really think it's better this way
The more you suffer, the more it shows you really care...
Right? Yeah!

Now I'll relate this a little bit
That happens more than I'd like to admit
Late at night she knocks on my door
She's drunk again and looking to score
Now I know I should say no
But it's kind of hard when she's ready to go
I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self esteem

When she's saying, oh, that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's saying, oh, that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess, I should stick up for myself
But I really think it's better this way
The more you suffer, the more it shows you really care...
Right? Yeah!

Snow White Queen
Evanescence
Composição: Amy Lee / Terry Balsamo

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, now and ever

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 scream

I can't escape the twisted way you think of me
I feel you in my dreams and I don't sleep
I don't sleep

So 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
Don't scream anymore my love
Cause all I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you

So Close
Evanescence
Composição: Will Boyd / Ben Moody / M. Outlaw

I've spent so much time throwing rocks at your window
That I never even knocked on the front door

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

Wait a time to spare these lies we tell ourselves
These days have come and gone
But this time is sweeter than honey

 

[helldanger1]

Solitude
Evanescence
Composição: Amy Lee / Ben Moody

How many times have you told me you love her
As many times as I've wanted to tell you the truth
How long have I stood here beside you
I live through you, you looked through me

Ooh solitude, still with me is only you
Ooh 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?

Ooh solitude, forever me and forever you
Ooh solitude, only you, only true

Everyone leave me stranded
Forgotten, abandoned, left behind
I can't stay here another night
Your secret admirer, who could it be
Ooh, can't you see, all along it was me
How can you be so blind as to see right through me?

And oh solitude, still with me is only you
Ooh, solitude, I can't stay away from you
Ooh, solitude, forever me and forever you
Ooh, solitude, only you, only true

 

[helldanger1]

Taking Over Me
Evanescence
Composição: Amy Lee / Ben Moody / David Hodges / John LeCompt

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 breath
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

Taking over me
you're taking over me

The Last Song I'm Wasting On You
Evanescence
Composição: Amy Lee

Sparkling gray, they're 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

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

 

[helldanger1]

The Only One
Evanescence
Composição: Amy Lee / Terry Balsamo

(The tuna fish is singing in a Tuna Afternoon)

You know you're not 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 you 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
