Fallen

By: Evanescence

Going Under

now I will tell you what i've done for you/fifty-thousand tears i've cried/screaming and deceiving and bleeding for you/and you still won't hear me/don't want your hand this time, i'll save myself/maybe i'll wake up for once/not tormented, daily defeated by you/just when i thought i'd reached the bottom
i'm dying again

i'm going under/drowning in you/i'm falling forever/i've got to break through/i'm going under

blurring and stirring the truth and the lies/so i don't know what's real and what's not/always confusing the thoughts in my head/so i can't trust myself anymore
i'm dying again

so go on and scream/scream at me, i'm so far away/i won't be broken again/i've got to breathe, i can't keep going under

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 inside/wake me up inside/call my name and save me from the dark/bid my blood to run/before 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 my and make me real/bring me to life

frozen inside without your touch without your love darling/only you are the life among the dead

all 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/don't let me die here/there must be something more/bring me to life

Everybody's Fool

perfect by nature/icons of self-indulgence/just what we all need/more lies about a world that

never was and never will be/have you no shame don't you see me/you know you've got everybody fooled

look here she comes now/bow down and stare in wonder/oh how we love you/no flaws when you're pretending/but now i know she

never was and never will be/you don't know how you've betrayed me/and somehow you've got everybody fooled

without the mask where will you hide/can't find yourself lost in your lie

i know the truth now/i know who you are/and i don't love you anymore

it never was and never will be/you're not real and you can't save me/somehow now you're everybody's fool

My Immortal

i'm so tired of being here/suppressed by all of my childish fears/and if you have to leave/i wish that you would just leave/because 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
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears/when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears/and i've held your hand through all of these years/but still have all of me

you used to captivate me/by your resonating light/but 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 you're gone/and though you're still with me/i've been alone all along

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

my wounds cry for the grave/my soul cries for deliverance/will i be denied/Christ tourniquet/my suicide

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

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

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 say me mourning my love for you/and touched my hand/i knew you loved me then

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

Hello

playground school bell rings again/rain clouds come to play again/has no one told you she's not breathing?/hello i am your mind giving you someone to talk to/hello

if i smile and don't believe/soon i know i'll wake from this dream/don't try to fix me i'm not broken/hello i'm the lie living for you so you can hide/don't cry

suddenly i know i'm not sleeping/hello i'm still here/all that's left of yesterday

My Last Breath

hold on to me love/you know i can't stay long/all i wanted to say was i love you and i'm not afraid/can you hear me/can you feel me in your arms

holding my last breath/safe inside myself/are all my thoughts of you/sweet raptured light it ends here tonight

i'll miss the winter/a world of fragile things/look for me in the white forest/hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)/i know you hear me/i can taste it in your tears

closing your eyes to disappear/you pray your dreams will leave you here/but still you wake and know the truth/no one's there

say goodnight/don't be afraid/calling me calling me as you fade to black

Whisper

catch me as i fall/say you're here and it's all over now/speaking to to the atmosphere/no one's here and i fall into myself/this truth drives me into madness/i know i can stop the pain if i will it all away

don't turn away/don't give into 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 hat there's much more to come/immobilzed by my fear/and soon to be blinded by tears/i can stop the pain if i will it all away

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/forsaken all i've fallen for i rise to meet the end
