Evanescence EP
"Where Will You Go"
You are too important for anyone
You play the role of all you long to be
But I, I know who you really are
You�re the one who cries when you�re alone
[Chorus:]
But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can�t escape
You can�t escape
You think that I can�t see right through your eyes
Scared to death to face reality
No one seems to hear your hidden cries
You�re left to face yourself alone
[Chorus:]
But where will you go (where will you go)
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can�t escape
The truth
I realize you�re afraid (I realize)
But you can�t abandon everyone
You can�t escape
You don�t want to escape
I�m so sick of speaking words that no one understands
Is it clear enough that you can�t live your whole life all alone?
I can hear you when you whisper
But you can�t even hear me screaming
[Chorus:]
Where will you go (where will you go)
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can�t escape
The truth
I realize you�re afraid (I realize)
But you can�t reject the whole world
You can�t escape
You won�t escape
You can�t escape
You don�t want to escape
"Solitude"
How many times have you told me you love her
As many times as I've wanted to tell you the truth
How long have I stood here beside you
I live through you
You looked through me
Ooh, Solitude,
Still with me is only you
Ooh, Solitude,
I can't stay away from you
How many times have I done this to myself
How long will it take before I see
When will this hole in my heart be mended
Who now is left alone but me
Ooh, Solitude,
Forever me and forever you
Ooh, Solitude,
Only you, only true
Everyone leaves me stranded
Forgotten, abandoned, left behind
I can't stay here another night
Your secret admirer
Who could it be
Ooh, Can't you see
All along it was me
How can you be so blind
As to see right through me
And Ooh, Solitude,
Still with me is only you
Ooh, Solitude,
I can't stay away from you
Ooh, Solitude,
Forever me and forever you
Ooh, Solitude,
Only you, only true
"Imaginary"
(Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, paper flowers) [X2]
I linger in the doorway
Our alarm clock screaming
Monster's 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 (flowers)
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me (flowers)
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)
"Exodus"
My black backpack's stuffed with broken dreams
20 bucks should get me through the week
Never said a word of discontentment
Fought it a thousand times but now
I'm leaving home
[CHORUS:]
Here in the shadows
I'm safe
I'm free
I've nowhere else to go but
I cannot stay where I don't belong
Two months pass by and it's getting cold
I know I'm not lost
I am just alone
But I won't cry
I won't give up
I can't go back now
Waking up is knowing who you really are
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Show me the shadow where true meaning lies
So much more dismay in empty eyes
"So Close"
I've spent so much time throwing rocks at your window
That I never even knocked on the front door
I walk by statues never even made one chip
but if i could leave a mark on the monument of the heart
I just might lay myself down for a little more than I had the last day
Wait a time to spare these lies we tell ourselves
These days have come and gone
But this time is sweeter than honey
“Understanding”
You hold the answer deep within your own mind. Consciously you've forgotten it. That's the way the human mind works. Whenver 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.
Oooh..
We wash it all away, we wish it all away, we hope it all away, can't cry it all away.
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
Please don't be afraid
When the darkness fades away
The dawn will break the silence screaming at our hearts
My love for you still grows
This I do for you
Before I try to fight the truth my final time
We're supposed to try to be real. We feel alone when we're not together, and that is real.
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
Hold and speak to me
Of love without a sound
Tell me you will live through this and I will die for you
Cast me not away
Say you'll be with me
For I know I cannot bear it all alone
You're not alone, honey, Never. Never.
Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
It just won't fade away, no...
Oooh.. can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away, yeah, yeah yeah.
Can't throw it all away
Can't scratch it all away, yeah....
Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
Move it all away
Move it all away
But the imprint is always there, nothing is ever really forgotten
Because I'm dying too
Because I'm dying too
Because I'm dying too
Because I'm dying too
Because I'm dying too
