  • Lost in ParadiseEvanescence

Evanescence — “Lost in Paradise” (Evanescence, 2011)

I’ve been believing
In something so distant
As if I was human
And I’ve been denying
This feeling of hopelessness
In me, in me

All the promises I made
Just to let you down
You believed in me but I’m broken

I have nothing left
And all I feel is this cruel wanting
We’ve been falling for all this time
And now I’m lost in paradise

As much as I’d like
The past not to exist
It still does
And as much as I’d like
To feel like I belong here
I’m just as scared as you

I have nothing left
And all I feel is this cruel wanting
We’ve been falling for all this time
And now I’m lost in paradise

Run away, run away
One day we won’t feel this pain anymore
Take it all away
Shadows of you
‘Cause they won’t let me go

‘Til I have nothing left
And all I feel is this cruel wanting
We’ve been falling for all this time
And now I’m lost in paradise
Alone and lost in paradise

  • Swimming HomeEvanescence

Evanescence — “Swimming Home” (Evanescence, 2011)

Way down
I’ve been way down
Underneath this skin
Waiting to hear my name again

I’m sorry
Nothing can hold me
I adore you still
But I hear them calling
And nothing can hold me

Way down
(Do you really want me?)
All the way down
(Do you really want me?)
I will hear your voice
(Do you really want me?)
But I’ll no longer understand
(But it’s really not me)

I’m sorry
Nothing can hold me
I adore you still
But I hear them calling

I was looking to the sky
When I knew I’d be swimming home
And I cannot betray my kind
They are here - it’s my time

I’m sorry
Nothing can hold me
(Do you really want me?)
I adore you still
But I hear them calling, calling
And nothing can hold me

  • New Way to BleedEvanescence

Evanescence — “New Way To Bleed” (Evanescence, 2011)

Serve your twisted enemy
so you might earn forgiveness
You know your whole world is waiting
so why can’t you speak?

I feel it coming over me
I’m still a slave to these dreams
Is this the end of everything
or just a new way to bleed?

So go and tell all your friends that I’m a failure underneath
If it makes you feel like a bigger man
But it’s my, my heart, my life that you’re calling a lie
I’ve played this game before
and I can’t take anymore

I feel it coming over me
I’m still a slave to these dreams
Is this the end of everything?
or just a new way to bleed?

I drifted far beyond the earth
freedom, freedom can’t you feel the ground caving in?
freedom, give us a reason to believe again

I feel it coming over me
I’m still a slave to these dreams
Is this the end of everything?
or just a new way to bleed?

  • Never Go BackEvanescence

Evanescence — “Never Go Back” (Evanescence, 2011)

Everything is so dark
And I know there’s something wrong
But I can’t turn the light on
In that split second change
When you knew we couldn’t hold on
I realized I live to love you

Save yourself
Don’t look back
Tearing us apart until it’s all gone
The only world I’ve ever known
Sleeps beneath the waves
What I remember

I won’t give up on you
I can feel you in my heart
Just show me the way
I don’t belong here alone
I can still see your face
Where it’s burned into my mind
I die every time I close my eyes
You’re always there

Save yourself
Don’t look back
Tearing us apart until it’s all gone
The only world I’ve ever known
Sleeps beneath the waves
But I’m the one who’s drowning
Without your love I am lost
And I can never go back home

All across the ocean
We are calling, calling
Are, are, are you there?
Nothing left for me ‘til I find you

Because it’s all gone
The only one world ever known
Sleeps beneath the waves
But I’m the one who’s drowning
Without your love I am lost
And I can never go back
I can never go back home

  • The Other SideEvanescence

Evanescence — “The Other Side” (Evanescence, 2011)

Make me whole again
Open your eyes
Taunted by the shadows of your light
Cold and far away
like you’re not even mine
Undo everything and take me higher
Never believing what they say cause I’m

Counting the days to meet you on the other side
I will always be waiting
until the day that I see you on the other side
Come and take me home

I’m not giving in
I want you back
holding together by the shards of our past
Stole my heart away
I can’t let you go
Break these chains and let me fly to you
high above the world below
Over and over in my mind

Counting the days to meet you on the other side
I will always be waiting
until the day that I see you on the other side
Come and take me home

I am so lost without my place inside your heart
I won’t survive I need to know you hear me
Awaken and release my love

Counting the days to meet you on the other side
I will always be waiting
until the day that I see you on the other side
Come and take me
Counting the days to meet you on the other side
I will always be waiting
until the day that I see you on the other side
Come and take me home

  • End of the DreamEvanescence

Evanescence — “End of the Dream” (Evanescence, 2011)

I found a grave
Brushed off the face
Felt your light and
I remember why I know this place

I found a bird
Closing her eyes
One last time
And I wonder if she dreamed like me

Well as much as it hurts
Ain’t it wonderful to feel
So go on and break your wings
Follow your heart ‘til it bleeds
As we run towards the end of the dream

I’m not afraid
I push through the pain
And I’m on fire
 
I remember how to breathe again

As much as it hurts
Ain’t it wonderful to feel
So go on and break your wings
Follow your heart ‘til it bleeds
As we run towards the end of the dream

Why must we fall apart
To understand how to fly
I will find a way
Even without wings

Follow your heart ‘til it bleeds
As we run towards the end of the dream
Follow your heart ‘til it bleeds
As we come to the end of the dream

  • Say You WillEvanescence

Evanescence — “Say You Will” (Evanescence, 2011)

It’s taking you too long to decide
and I don’t want to be the one, the one
crying over wasted time
If you think you’re strong enough to let me in
then come on stand up and be honest, be honest

I’m tired of feeling so alone
‘cause you won’t let me understand (Let me understand)
I don’t want to pretend
I want to feel, I want to live

Say you will or say you won’t
open your heart to me
Now or never tell the truth
Is this real, is this real?

Whenever you’re around I can’t fight it
You get under my skin in a way that I like it
and I can’t take anymore
Tell me what you want from me or leave me alone
‘cause I’m all caught up and I’m losing control

I’m tired of holding on so tight
when you won’t let me understand (Let me understand)
Now I’m falling apart
I never meant to lose myself

Say you will or say you won’t
open your heart to me
Now or never tell the truth
Is this real, is this real?
Say you will or say you won’t
open your heart to me
Now or never tell the truth
Is this real, is this real?

Like drops of rain
against my heart
cut through like silver
and I want to make you feel that way
and I want to make you feel the way that I do

Say you will or say you won’t
open your heart to me
Now or never tell the truth
Is this real?
Say you will or say you won’t
open your heart to me
Now or never tell the truth
Is this real, is this real?

Evanescence — “Made of Stone” (Evanescence, 2011)

Speak your mind
like I care 
I can see your lips moving 
I’ve just learned not to hear 
Don’t waste your time 

Its never enough for you, baby 
Don’t want to play your game anymore 
no matter what you say 
I’m all out of love for you, baby 
and now that I’ve tried everything 
I’ll numb the pain till I am made of stone 

Take your time 
I’m not scared 
Make me everything you need me to be 
so the judgement seems fair 
Don’t waste your time 

Its never enough for you, baby 
Don’t want to play your game anymore 
no matter what you say 
I’m all out of love for you, baby 
and now that I’ve tried everything 
I’ll numb the pain till I am made 

to tear out my heart
for the way that it feels 
I will still remember when you’ve long forgotten me 


Its never enough for you, baby 
Don’t want to play your game anymore 
no matter what you say 
I’m all out of love for you, baby 
and now that I’ve tried everything 
I’ll numb the pain till I am made of stone

  • OceansEvanescence

Evanescence — “Oceans” (Evanescence, 2011)

Don’t wanna be the one to walk away
but I can’t bear the thought of one more day
I think I finally understand what it means to be lost

Can’t find the road to lead us out of this
a million miles from where we burned the bridge
Can’t keep pretending everything’s gonna be alright
with the whole world falling around me

Cross the oceans in my mind
Find the strength to say goodbye
In the end you never can wash the blood from your hands

Fallen so far from where we were before
You’ll never find what you’ve been searching for
Something to fill the void and make up for all of those missing pieces of you
Like I could only dream to do

Cross the oceans in my mind
Find the strength to say goodbye
Everything that we believed in was a lie
Cross the oceans in your mind
Find a way to blur the line.
In the end you never can wash the blood from your hands

And we never learn
so we fall down again
heaven help me find a way to dream within this nightmare

Cross the oceans in my mind
Find the strength to say goodbye
Everything that we believed in was a lie
Cross the oceans in your mind
Find a way to blue the line
In the end you never can wash the blood from your hands

  • What You WantEvanescence

Evanescence — “What You Want”  (Evanescence, 2011)

Do what you what you want
If you have a dream for better
Do what you what you want
‘Til you don’t want it anymore 
(remember who you really are)

Do what you what you want
Your world’s closing in on you now (it isn’t over)
Stand and face the unknown
(got to remember who you really are)

Every heart in my hands like a pale reflection

Hello, hello, remember me?
I’m everything you can’t control
Somewhere beyond the pain 
There must be a way to believe 
We can break through

Do what you what you want
You don’t have to lay your life down (it isn’t over)
Do what you what you want
‘Til you find what you’re looking for
(got to remember who you really are)

But every hour slipping by screams that I have failed you

Hello, hello, remember me?
I’m everything you can’t control
Somewhere beyond the pain 
There must be a way to believe 

Hello, hello, remember me?
I’m everything you can’t control
Somewhere beyond the pain 
There must be a way to believe

There’s still time
Close your eyes
Only love will guide you home
Tear down the walls and free your soul
Till we crash we’re forever spiraling
Down, down, down, down

Hello, hello, its only me
Infecting everything you love
Somewhere beyond the pain 
There must be a way to believe

Hello, hello, remember me?
I’m everything you can’t control
Somewhere beyond the pain 
There must be a way to learn forgiveness

Hello, hello, remember me?
I’m everything you can’t control
Somewhere beyond the pain 
There must be a way to believe
We can break through

Remember who you really are
Do what you what you want

  • Erase ThisEvanescence

Evanescence — “Erase This” (Evanescence, 2011)

It’s too late to change your mind
Even though this fragile world
Is tearing apart at the seams
I can’t wash these sins away
This sinking feeling everyday
I’m waking up in someone else’s life

Is it so hard for you? 
‘Cause it’s so hard for me
To believe that what we dream
Could ever come to life again 
‘Cause I cannot erase this lie

I’m not gonna let this day go by
I’m gonna save this wasted life
And nothing can stand in my way
Not enough to say goodbye
Burn it ‘til there’s nothing left
I’m drowning in the mess that I have made

Is it so hard for you? 
‘Cause it’s so hard for me
To believe that what we dream
Could ever come to life again 
‘Cause I cannot erase this darkness in me

The water’s rising around us
There is no other way down
I only have myself to blame
For it all, all

Is it so hard for you? 
‘Cause it’s so hard for me
To believe that what we dream
Could ever come to life again
If I could just erase my mind
But I cannot erase this lie

  • My Heart Is BrokenEvanescence

Evanescence — “My Heart Is Broken” (Evanescence, 2011)

I will wander till the end of time
torn away from you

I pulled away to face the pain
I close my eyes and drift away
over the fear that I will never find a way to heal my soul
and I will wander till the end of time
torn away from you

My heart is broken
sweet sleep, my dark angel
deliver us from sorrow’s hold

Over my heart

I can’t go on living this way
But I can’t go back the way I came
chained to this fear that I will never find a way to heal my soul
and I will wander till the end of time
half alive without you

My heart is broken
sweet sleep, my dark angel
deliver us

Change
Open your eyes to the light
I denied it all so long, oh so long
Say goodbye
Goodbye

My heart is broken
release me, I can’t hold on
deliver us

My heart is broken
sweet sleep, my dark angel
deliver us

My heart is broken
sweet sleep, my dark angel
deliver us from sorrow’s hold

Evanescence — Disappear (Evanescence, 2011)

Hollow, like you don’t remember me
Underneath everything I guess I always dreamed
That I would be the one to take you away from all this wasted pain
But I can’t save you from yourself

Don’t you want to feel?
Don’t you want to live your life?
How much longer are you gonna give in to the fear?
Holding you down until you’re frozen
I can’t let you fall apart
You don’t even know what you’ve done to me
But I could be the one to take you away from all this wasted pain
If you could just wake up

Don’t you want to feel?
Don’t you want to live your life?
How much longer are you gonna give in to the fear?
Holding you down until you’re

All alone
All alone and drowning in your past
Take it back
Take it back I still believe you can

Don’t you want to feel?
Don’t you want to live your life?
How much longer are you gonna give in to the fear?
I can’t go on pretending
So give me something real
No one in your way but you
How much longer are you gonna give into the fear
Holding you down ‘til you disappear.
