[Instrumental]

Understanding

Evanescence — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 12:00:25 +0000

You hold the answers deep within your own mind.
Consciously, you’ve forgotten it.
That’s the way the human mind works.
Whenever something is too unpleasant, to shameful for us
to entertain, we reject it.
We erase it from our memories.
But the imprint is always 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
Before I try to fight the truth my final time

"We’re supposed to try and be real.
And I feel alone, and we’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, no

Can’t wash it all away
Can’t wish it all away
Can’t cry 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
Ooh, it all away
Ooh, it all away

"But the imprint is always there. Nothing is ever really forgotten."
"Because I’ll die if you do."
"Because I’ll die if you do."
"Because I’ll die if you do."
"Because I’ll die if you do."
"Because I’ll die if you do."

Alternate Version:

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 to 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

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

Can’t fight it all away
Can’t hope it all away
Can’t scream it all away
It just won’t fade away

So Close

Evanescence — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 11:59:49 +0000

I’ve spent so much time
Throwing rocks at your window
That I never even knocked
On your front door

I walk by statues
Never even made one chip away
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

Exodus

Evanescence — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 11:59:22 +0000

My black backpack’s 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

Show me the shadow where true meaning lies
So much more dismay in empty eyes

Where Will You Go

Evanescence — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 11:58:49 +0000

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

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

But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can’t escape
You can’t escape

I realize you’re afraid
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

But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can’t escape
You can’t escape

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

Alternate Version:

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

How ever did you manage to push away
From every living thing you come across
So afraid that anyone will hate you
You pretend you hated 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

Solitude

Evanescence — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 11:51:18 +0000

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

Solitude
Still with me is only you
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

Solitude
Forever me and forever you
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

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 as only you
Solitude
I can’t stay away from you

Solitude
Forever me and forever you
Solitude
Only you, only true

Imaginary

Evanescence — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 13:59:34 +0000

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
