EVANESCENCE "FALLEN"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me
from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) 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
Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie)
(There's nothing inside)
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
(Darling, don't let me die here)
(There must be something wrong!)
Bring me to life
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
You cried
I'd wipe away all of your tears
You'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
You still have
All of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating life
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
I've tried so hard to tell myself that I`ve gone
But though you still with me
I've been alone all along
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Going under
Now I will tell you what I've done for you
50,000 tears I`ve cried
Screaming,
Deceiving,
And bleeding for you
And you still won't hear me
(Going under)
Don't want your hand this time
I'll save myself
Maybe I'll wake up for once (wake up for once)
Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I'd reach the bottom
I dive again
I'm going under (going under)
Drown in you (drowning with you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break through
I'm, going under
Blurring and stirring the truth that comes out
(I don't know what's real and what's not)
Always confusing the thoughts is my head
So I can't trust myself anymore
I dive again
I'm going under (going under)
Drown in you (drowning with you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break through
I'm, so go on and scream
Scream at me, so far away
I won't be broken again
I've got to breathe
I can't keep going under
I dive again
I'm going under (going under)
Drown in you (drowning with you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break through,
I'm, going under (going under)
Going under (drowning with you)
I'm going under
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
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
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 my end
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Imaginary
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
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
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
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
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tourniquet
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
My wounds cry for the grave
My soul cries for deliverance
Will i be denied Christ
Tourniquet
My suicide
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Missing
Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll have woke 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 sacrificed,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love 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,
Shudder deep and cry out:
"Isn't something missing?
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...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Breathe No More
I've been looking in the mirror for so long.
That I've come to believe my souls on the other side.
Oh the little pieces falling, shatter.
Shards of me,
To sharp to put back together.
To 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 spirits 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.
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 now...
Bleed,
I bleed,
And I breathe,
I breathe,
I breathe-
I breathe no more.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
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
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
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
And I can't love you, anymore than I do
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You
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 were together I feel perfect
When Im pulled away from you I fall apart
All that you say is sacred to me
Your eyes are so blue, I cant look away as we lay in the stillness
You whisper to me, Amy, marry me, promise youll stay with me
Oh you dont have to ask me, you know youre all that I live for
You know Id die just to hold you, stay with you
Somehow Ill show you that you are my night sky
Ive always been right behind you
Now Ill always be right beside you
So many nights Ive cried myself to sleep
Now that you love me I love myself
I never thought I would say that
I never thought thered be you
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Broken
I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
Cause Im broken when Im open
And I dont feel like I am strong enough
Cause Im broken when Im lonesome
And I dont feel light when youre gone away
The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
Theres so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
Cause Im broken when Im open
And I dont feel like I am strong enough
Cause Im broken when Im lonesome
And I dont feel right when youre gone away
Cause Im broken when Im open
And I dont feel like I am strong enough
Cause Im broken when Im lonesome
And I dont feel light when youre gone away
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where Will You Go (Reprise)
Youre too important for anyone
you play the role of all you want to be
But I, I know who you really are
Youre the one who cries when youre alone
[CHORUS:]
But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You cant escape
You cant escape
You think that I cant see right through your eyes
Scared to death to face reality
No one seems to hear your hidden cries
Youre left to face yourself alone
[Chorus]
But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You cant escape the truth
I realize youre afraid
But you cant abandon everyone
You cant escape
You dont want to escape
Im so sick of speaking words that no one understands
Is it clear enough that you cant live your whole life all alone
I can hear you in a whisper
But you cant even hear me screaming
[Chorus]
Where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You cant escape the truth
I realize youre afraid
But you cant reject the whole world
You cant escape
You wont escape
You cant escape
You dont want to escape
