I can hear you in a whisper
But you can’t even hear me screaming.
Evanescence — “Hello”
Suddenly, I know I’m not sleeping.
Hello, I’m still here,
all that’s left of yesterday.
Evanescence — “Breathe No More” (Anywhere But Home, 2004)
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
Oh! 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
Evanescence — “Lithium” (acoustic, 2006)
Though I’d die to know you love me,
I’m all alone.
Isn’t something missing me?
Isn’t someone missing me?
Evanescence — “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.
Nothing is ever really forgotten.
Evanescence — “Lost in Paradise”
I have nothing left,
and all I feel is this cruel wanting.
Evanescence — “Listen to the Rain” (Origin (outtake), 2000)
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 [listen listen]
Whispering secrets in vain [listen listen]
Frantically searching for someone to hear
Their story before they hit ground
Please don’t let go
Can’t we stay for a while?
It’s just too hard to say goodbye
Listen to the rain
Listen listen listen listen listen Listen to the rain
Weeping
Ooh ooh oh oh oh oh
Ooh ooh oh oh oooh
Listen [listen] listen [listen]
Listen [listen] listen
I stand alone in the storm [listen listen]
Suddenly sweet words take hold [listen listen]
Hurry, they say, for you haven’t much time
Open your eyes to the love around you
You may feel you’re alone
But I’m here still with you
You can do what you dream
Just remember to listen to the rain
Ooh ooh oh oh oh oh
Ooh ooh oh oh oooh
[Listen]
