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

Thoughtless
Evanescence
Composição: James "Munky" Shaffer / Jonathan Davis / B. Welch / R. Arvisu / D. Silveria

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned
By your thoughtless scheming
You can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies
Pushing all the mercy down, down, down
I wanna see you try to take a swing at me
Come on, gonna put you on the ground, ground, ground

Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it's funny? What the fuck you think it's doing to me?
You take your turn lashing at me
I want you crying with your dirty ass in front of me

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned
By your thoughtless scheming
Now you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies
I'm above you, smiling at you, drown, drown, drown
I wanna kill and rape you the way you raped me
And I'll pull the trigger and you're down, down, down

Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it's funny? What the fuck you think it's doing to me?
You take your turn lashing out at me
I want you crying with your dirty ass in front of me

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned
By your thoughtless scheming
Now you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

All my friends are gone, they died
They all screamed, and cried

Gonna take you down
Gonna take you down
Gonna take you down
Gonna take you down

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned
By your thoughtless scheming
Now you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

Yeah All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned
By your thoughtless scheming
Now you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

Tourniquet
Evanescence
Composição: Amy Lee / Ben Moody / David Hodges / Rocky Gray

I tried to kill the pain but only brought more
I lay dying and I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal
I'm dying, praying, 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 or will you forget me
I'm dying, praying, 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 want 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

 

[helldanger1]

Understanding
Evanescence
Composição: Ben Moody

You hold the answers into your own mind
Consciously you forgot them
That's the way the human mind works
Whenever something is too unpleasant, or too shamefull for us to entertain
We reject it
We erease it form our memory
But the imprit is aways there

Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't 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 from who we are

Please don't be afraid
When the darkness fades away
The dawn will break the silence screaming in our hearts
My love for you still grows
This I do for you
For I've tried to fight the truth, my final time

We're supposed to try to be real
And when you feel alone, you're 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 life 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

Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't throw it all away
Can't scratch it all away

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

God, just don't hate me
Because I'll die if you do

 

[helldanger1]

Weight Of The World
Evanescence
Composição: Amy Lee / Terry Balsamo

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 oh, 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 used to be

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 wont be held down by who I used to be

Where Will You Go? (Evanescence EP)
Evanescence
Composição: Amy Lee / Ben Moody

You're too important for anyone
There's something wrong with everything you see
But I, I know who you really are
You're the one who cries when you're alone

Where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape
You don't want to escape

However did you manage to push away
From every living thing you've come across
So afraid that anyone will hate you
You pretend you hate them first

Where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape the truth
I realize you're afraid
But you can't refrain from everything
You can't escape
You can't 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

And where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape the truth
I realize you're afraid
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

 

[helldanger1]

Whisper
Evanescence
Composição: Amy Lee / Ben Moody

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 drives me into madness
I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away
If I will it all away

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
If I will it all away

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)

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 the end

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)

(servatis a periculum)
(servatis a malificum)

You
Evanescence
Composição: Ben Moody

The words have been drained from this pencil
Sweet words that I want to give you
And I cant sleep, I need to tell you goodnight
When we're together I feel perfect
When I'm pulled away from you I fall apart
All you say is sacred to me

Your eyes are so blue
I can't look away as we lay in the stillness
You whisper to me:
"Amy, marry me, promise you'll stay with me"
Oh you don't have to ask me
You know you're all that I live for
You know I'd die just to hold you, stay with you
Somehow I'll show you that you are my night sky
I've always been right behind you
Now I'll always be right beside you

So many nights I've cried myself to sleep
Now that you love me I love myself
I never thought I would say that
I never thought there'd be you

 

[helldanger1]

Your Star
Evanescence
Composição: Amy Lee

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
It's growing colder without your love
Why can't you feel me calling your name?
Can't break the silence, it's 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

Nothing worth fighting for
We're wandering now
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely
Find your own way out

 

[helldanger1]

Zero
Evanescence
Composição: Billie Corgan

My reflection, dirty mirror
There's no connection to myself
I'm your lover, I'm your zero
I'm the face in your dreams of glass

So save your prayers
For when you're really gonna need 'em
Throw out your cares and fly
Wanna go for a ride?

She's the one for me
She's all I really need
'Cause she's the one for me

Emptiness is loneliness and loneliness is cleanliness
And cleanliness is godliness, and God is empty just like me

Intoxicated with the madness, I'm in love with my sadness
Bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms
The fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth

I never let on that I was on a sinking ship
I never let on that I was down
You blame yourself, for what you can't ignore
You blame yourself for wanting more

She's the one for me
She's all I really need
She's the one for me
She's my one and only
