Evanescence — “The Change (live acoustic)” (unreleased, 2012)
Thought that I was strong
I know the words I need to say
Frozen in my place
I let the moment slip away
I’ve been screaming on the inside
And I know you feel the pain
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Aah-oh-aah-oh-aah
Aah-oh-aah-oh-aah
Say it’s over, yes it’s over
But I need you anyway
Say you love me
But it’s not enough
Never meant to lie
But I’m not the girl you think you know
The more that I am with you
The more that I am all alone
I’ve been screaming on the inside
And I know you feel the pain
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Aah-oh-aah-oh-aah
Aah-oh-aah-oh-aah
Say it’s over, yes it’s over
But I need you anyway
Say you love me
But it’s not enough
Not that I’m so different
Not that I don’t see the dying light of what we used to be
But how can I forgive you
You changed
And I’m a liar by your side
I’m about to lose my mind
Cause I’ve been screaming on the inside
And I know you feel the pain
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Aah
You’ve been dreaming if you’re thinking
That I still belong to you
And I’ve been dying
‘Cause I’m lying to myself
Aah-oh-aah-oh-aah
Aah-oh-aah-oh-aah
Say it’s over, yes it’s over
But I need you anyway
Say you love me
But it’s not enough
Evanescence — “Bring Me To Life (live acoustic)” (unreleased, 2011)
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’s sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
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
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I’ve become
Bring me to life
Bring me to life
Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I’ve become
Bring me to life
Bring me to life
Evanescence — “Understanding (acoustic)” (Evanescence EP (outtake), 1998)
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 for who we are
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
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
Can’t wash it all away
Can’t wish it all away
Can’t cry it all away
Can’t hope it all away
Evanescence — “Call Me When You’re Sober (acoustic)” (Call Me When You’re Sober single, 2006)
Don’t cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me
Come find me
Make up your mind
Should I let you fall?
Lose it all?
So maybe you can remember yourself
Can’t keep believing
We’re only deceiving ourselves
And I’m sick of the lie
And you’re too late
Don’t cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me
Come find me
Make up your mind
Couldn’t take the blame
Sick with shame
Must be exhausting to lose your own game
Selfishly hated, no wonder you’re jaded
You can’t play the victim this time
And you’re too late
Don’t cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me?
Come find me
Make up your mind
You never call me when you’re sober
You only want it cause it’s over
It’s over!
How could I have burned paradise?
How could I?
You were never mine!
So don’t cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
Don’t lie to me
Just get your things
I’ve made up your mind
Evanescence — “Good Enough (live acoustic)”, (unreleased, 2006)
Under your spell again
I can’t say no to you
Crave my heart and it’s bleeding in your hand
I can’t say no to you
Shouldn’t have let you torture me so sweetly
Now I can’t let go of this dream
I can’t breathe but I feel
Good enough
I feel good enough for you
Drink up sweet decadence
I can’t say no to you
And I’ve completely lost myself
and I don’t mind
I can’t say no to you
Shouldn’t have let you
conquer me completely
Now I can’t let go of this dream
Can’t believe that I feel
Good enough
I feel good enough
It’s been such a long time coming,
but I feel good
And I’m still waiting for the rain to fall
Pour real life down on me
Cause I can’t hold on to anything this
Good enough
Am I good enough
for you to love me too?
So take care what you ask of me
Cause I can’t say no
Evanescence — “My Heart Is Broken (live acoustic)” (unreleased, 2011)
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 youMy 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 youMy heart is broken
sweet sleep, my dark angel
deliver usChange
Open your eyes to the light
I denied it all so long, oh so long
Say goodbye
GoodbyeMy heart is broken
release me, I can’t hold on
deliver us
My heart is broken
sweet sleep, my dark angel
deliver usMy heart is broken
sweet sleep, my dark angel
deliver us from sorrow’s hold
Evanescence — “Lost in Paradise (live acoustic)” (unreleased, 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
Evanescence — ”Lithium (live acoustic)” (unreleased, 2011)
Lithium - don’t wanna lock me up inside
Lithium - don’t wanna forget how it feels without
Lithium - I wanna stay in love with my sorrow
Oh, but God, I wanna let it go
Come to bed, don’t make me sleep alone
Couldn’t hide the emptiness you let it show
Never wanted it to be so cold
Just didn’t drink enough to say you love me
I can’t hold on to me
Wonder what’s wrong with me
Lithium - don’t wanna lock me up inside
Lithium - don’t wanna forget how it feels without
Lithium - I wanna stay in love with my sorrow
Oh! Don’t wanna let it lay me down this time
Drown my will to fly
Here in the darkness I know myself
Can’t break free until I let it go
Let me go
Darling, I forgive you after all
Anything is better than to be alone
And in the end I guess I had to fall
Always find my place among the ashes
I can’t hold on to me
Wonder what’s wrong with me
Lithium - don’t wanna lock me up inside
Lithium - don’t wanna forget how it feels without
Lithium - I wanna stay in love with you
Oh, I’m gonna let it go
Evanescence — “Secret Door (live acoustic)” (unreleased, 2011)
Turn out the lights
Feed the fire ‘til my soul breaks free
My heart is high as the waves above me
Don’t need to understand
Too lost to lose
Don’t fight my tears ‘cause they feel so good
And I, I will remember how to fly
Unlock the heavens in my mind
Follow my love back through the same secret door
Look past the end
It’s a dream as it’s always been
All life lives on if we’ve ever loved it
And I, I will remember how to fly
Unlock the heavens in my mind
Follow my love back through the same secret door
I, I will remember how to fly
Unlock the heavens in my mind
Follow my love back through the same secret door
