Evanescence : Fallen Angel
Lyrics
1. 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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
2. GOING UNDER
Now I will tell you what I've done for you
50 thousand tears I've cried
Screaming - 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 reach the bottom
I die again
[Chorus]
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 die again
I'm going under
drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
I'm so go 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
I die again
[Chorus]
Going under
I'm going under
3. 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
[Chorus]
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 saw me mourning my love for you
And touched my hand
I knew you loved me then
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus](x2)
You're taking over me
Taking over me
4. 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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Never was and never will be
You're not real and you can't save me
Somehow now you're everybody's fool
5. 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?
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
6. FARTHER AWAY
I took their smiles and I made them mine
I sold my soul just to hide the light
And now I see what I really am
A thief - A whore and a liar
[Chorus]
I run to you
And run away from this hell
Call out your name
Giving up - Giving in
I see you there
Still you are
Farther away
I'm numb to you - Numb and deaf and blind
You give me all but the reason why
I reach but I feel only air at night
Not you - Not love - Just nothing
[Chorus]
Try to forget you
But without you I feel nothing
Don't leave me here by myself
I can't breathe
[Chorus](x2)
Farther away (x5)
7. EVEN IN DEATH
Give me a reason to believe that you're gone
I see your shadow so I know they're all wrong
Moonlight on the soft brown earth
It leads me to where you lay
They took you away from me but now I'm taking you home
I will stay forever here with you - My love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on
Some say I'm crazy for my love - Oh my love
But no bonds can hold me from your side - Oh my love
They don't know you can't leave me
They don't hear you singing to me
(x2)
I will stay forever here with you - My love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on
And I can't love you anymore than I do
People die but real love is forever
8. BE THE ONE
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 as I try to draw from my spirit's well
Yet again you refuse to drink like a stubborn child
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
9. MY IMMORTAL
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
[Pre-Chorus]
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much the time cannot erase
[Chorus]
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 held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
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
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
[Chorus]
10. 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's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home
[Chorus]
Wake me up
Wake me up inside
I can't wake up
Wake me up inside
Save me
Call my name and save me from the dark
Wake me up
Bid my blood to run
I can't wake up
Before I come undone
Save me
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
[Chorus]
Bring me to life
I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside
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
[Chorus]
Bring me to life
I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life
11. TOURNIQUET
I tried to kill the pain
But only brought more
So much more
I lay dying
And I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm dying - Praying - Bleeding and screaming
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?
[Chorus]
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?
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
Return to me salvation
I want to die
[Chorus]
My wounds cry for the grave
My soul cries for deliverance
Will I be denied Christ?
Tourniquet
My suicide
12. IMAGINARY
Paper flowers (x2)
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Paper flowers (x2)
13. WHISPER
Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking 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
If I will it all away
[Chorus]
Don't turn away
Don't give in to 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 that there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be blinded by tears
I can stop the pain if I will it all away
If I will it all away
[Chorus]
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?
Forsaking all I've fallen for I rise to meet the end
[Chorus]
(x2)
Don't turn away
Servatis a periculum
Don't try to hide
Servatis a maleficum
Don't close your eyes
Servatis a periculum
Don't turn out the light
Servatis a maleficum
(x6)
Servatis a periculum
Servatis a maleficum

14. HEART SHARPED BOX (NIRVANA COVER)
She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black
[Chorus](x2)
Hey Wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice
Man eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on angel hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back
[Chorus](x2)
Your advice (x3)
15. ZERO (SMASHING PUMPKINGS COVER)
My reflection - Dirty mirror
There's no connection to myself
I'm your lover - I'm your zero
I'm in the face of your dreams of glass
So save your prayers
For when we're really gonna need'em
Throw out your cares and fly
Wanna go for a ride?
She's the one for me
She's all I really need
'Cause she's the one for me
Emptiness is loneliness and loneliness is cleanliness
And cleanliness is godliness and god is empty just like me
Intoxicated with the madness
I'm in love with my sadness
Bullshit fakers - Enchanted kingdoms
The fasion victims chew their charcoal teeth
I never let on that I was on a sinking ship
I never let on that I was down
You blame yourself for what you can't ignore
You blame yourself for wanting more
She's the one for me
She's all I really need
She's the one for me
She's my one and only

Going under
