| Whisper EP / Sound Asleep EP 1. Give Unto Me Ive been watching you from a distance But distance sees through your disguise All I want from you is your hurting I want to heal you I want to save you from the dark Give unto me your trouble endure you suffering Place onto me your hurting drink your deadly poison Why should I care if they, hurt you Some how it matters more to me Than if I were hurting myself Save you save you Give unto me your trouble endure your suffering Place onto me your hurting drink your deadly poison Give unto me your trouble endure your suffering Place onto me your hurting drink your deadly poison 2. Whisper Death in, Death in it's most hideous form 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 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 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) 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 my end 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) 3. Understanding 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 to 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 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 Can't fight it all away Can't hope it all away Can't scream it all away It just won't fade away 4. Forgive Me Can you forgive me again? I don't know what I said But I didn't mean to hurt you I heard the words come out I felt like I would die It hurt so much to hurt you Then you look at me You're not shouting anymore You're silently broken I'd give anything now to hear those words from you Each time I say something I regret I cry "I don't want to lose you." But somehow I know that you will never leave me, yeah. 'Cause you were made for me Somehow I'll make you see How happy you make me I can't live this life Without you by my side I need you to survive So stay with me You look in my eyes and I'm screaming inside that I'm sorry. And you forgive me again You're my one true friend And I never meant to hurt you 5. Understanding "You hold the answer deep within your own mind. Consciously you've forgotten it. That's the way the human mind words. Whenever 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. " 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 to 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 Can't wash it all away Can't wish it all away Can't throw it all away Can't scratch it all away Can't fight it all away Can't hope it all away Can't scream it all away it all away 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" 6. Ascension Of The Spirit Evanescence EP 1. Where Will You Go You're too important for anyone There's something wrong with everything you see But I, I know who you really are You're the one who cries when you're alone Where will you go With no one left to save you from yourself You can't escape you don't want to escape However did you manage to push away from every living thing you've come across so afraid that anyone will hate you you pretend you hate them first Where will you go With no one left to save you from yourself You can't escape the truth I realize you're afraid But you can't refrain from everything You cant' escape You can't 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 And where will you go With no one left to save you from yourself You can't escape the truth I realize your're afraid 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 2. Solitude How many times have you told me you love her? As many times as I wanted to tell you the truth. How long have I stood here beside you? I lived through you, you looked through me. Ooo, Solitude Still with me is only you Ooo, 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? Ooo, Solitude Forever me and forever you Ooo, Solitude Only you, Only true Everyone leaves me stranded, forgotten, abandoned left behind. I can't stay her another night Your secret admirer, who could it be? Can't you you see all along it was me? How can you be so blind as to see right through me? Solitude Still with me is only you Ooo, solitude I can't stay away from you Solitude Forever me and forever you Ooo, Solitude Only you, Only true 3. Imaginary 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 imagnary light In my field of paper flowers And candy cloulds of lullabies I lie inside myself for hours And watch my purple sky fly over me I linger in the doorway Of alarm clocks 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 If you need to leave the world you live in Lay your head down and stay a while Though you may not remember dreaming 4. Exodus My black backpack stuffed with broken dreams Twenty bucks should get me through the week Never said a word of discontentment Thought it a thousand times but now I'm leaving home 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'm 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 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 In the shadows I'm safe, I'm free I've nowhere else to go but I cannot stay here Oh, show me the shadow where true meaning lies So much more dismay in empty eyes. 5. 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 6.

I saw her bleed You heard me breathe So I froze inside myself And turned away I must be dreaming We all live We all die That does not begin to justtify you It's not what it seems Not what you think No I must be dreaming It's only in my mind Not in real life No I must be dreaming Help you know I've got to tell someone Tell them what I know you've done I fear you but spoken fears can come true We all live We all die That does not begin to justtify you It's not what it seems Not what you think No I must be dreaming It's only in my mind Not in real life No I must be dreaming Not what it seems Not what you think I must be dreaming Just in my mind Not in real life I must be dreaming Before The Dawn Meet me after dark again and I'll hold you I am nothing more than to see you there And maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away We'll be lost before the dawn If only night can hold you where i can see you, my love Then let me never ever wake again And maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away We'll be lost before the dawn somehow i know that we cant wake again from this dream it's not real, but it's ours Maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away We'll be lost before the dawn Maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away We'll be lost before the dawn Breathe No More 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, To sharp to put back together. To 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 and I try to draw from my spirits 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 now... Bleed, I bleed, And I breathe, I breathe, I breathe- I breathe no more. 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. I run to you, Call out your name, I see you there, farther away. Im 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. I run to you, Call out your name, I see you there, farther away. Try to forget you, But without you I feel nothing. Don't leave me here, by myself. I can't breathe. I run to you, Call out your name, I see you there, farther away. I run to you, Call out your name, I see you there, farther away, Farther away, farther away, farther away, farther away, farther away. Forever Gone Forever You I wanted you to be with me For so long I don't even know why now But now that I've given up on you Defiantly you see me Walking away I see the pain You put me through Lost in your game to change the same Forever gone, forever you There's something very wrong about this I think you knew all along somehow You'll only take me to change my mind Lonely, broken, and defeated So far away I see the truth I see through you Now that I know the way you play I don't want to Walking away I see the pain You put me through Lost in your game to change the same Forever gone, forever you Goodnight Goodnight, sleep tight No more tears In the morning I'll be here And when we say goodnight, Dry your eyes Because we said goodnight, And not goodbye We said goodnight And not goodbye Listen To The Rain Listen listen Listen listen Listen listen Listen listen Listen (listen) listen (listen) Listen (listen) listen (listen) Listen (listen) listen (listen) Listen listen Listen to each drop of rain (listen listen) Whispering secrets in rain (listen listen) Franticly searching for someone to hear That story be more than it hides Each droplet long gone? Can't we stay for a while? It's just to hard to say goodbye Listen to the rain Listen listen listen listen listen listen to the rain Weeping Listen (listen) listen (listen) Listen (listen) listen I stand alone in the storm (listen listen) Suddenly sweet I say no (Listen listen) Couldn't they stay for you haven't much time Open your eyes to the love around you You can feel you're alone But I'm here still with you You can do what you dream Just remember to listen to the rain Listen Missing Please, please forgive me, But I won't be home again. Maybe someday you'll look up, And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one: "Isn't something missing?" You won't cry for my absence, I know - You forgot me long ago. Am I that unimportant...? Am I so insignificant...? Isn't something missing? Isn't someone missing me? Even though I'm the sacrifice, You won't try for me, not now. Though I'd die to know you love me, I'm all alone. Isn't someone missing me? Please, please forgive me, But I won't be home again. I know what you do to yourself, I breathe deep and cry out, "Isn't something missing? Isn't someone missing me?" And if I bleed, I'll bleed, Knowing you don't care. And if I sleep just to dream of you And wake without you there, Isn't something missing? Isn't something... October I can't run anymore, I fall before you, Here I am, I have nothing left, Though I've tried to forget, You're all that I am, Take me home, I'm through fighting it, Broken, Lifeless, I give up, You're my only strength, Without you, I can't go on, Anymore, Ever again. My only hope, (All the times I've tried) My only peace, (To walk away from you) My only joy, My only strength, (I fall into your abounding grace) My only power, My only life, (And love is where I am) My only love. I can't run anymore, I give myself to you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, In all my bitterness, I ignored, All that's real and true, All I need is you, When night falls on me, I'll not close my eyes, I'm too alive, And you're too strong, I can't lie anymore, I fall down before you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. My only hope, (All the times I've tried) My only peace, (To walk away from you) My only joy, My only strength, (I fall into your abounding grace) My only power, My only life, (And love is where I am) My only love. Constantly ignoring, The pain consuming me, But this time it's cut too deep, I'll never stray again. My only hope, (All the times I've tried) My only peace, (To walk away from you) My only joy, My only strength, (I fall into your abounding grace) My only power, My only life, (And love is where I am) My only love, My only hope, (All the times I've tried) My only peace, (To walk away from you) My only joy, My only strength, (I fall into your abounding grace) My only power, My only life, (And love is where I am) My only love. Surrender Is this real enough for you You were so confused Now that you've decided to stay We'll remain together You can't abandon me You belong to me Breathe in and take my life in you No longer myself only you There's no escaping me, my love Surrender Darling, there's no sense in running You know I will find you Everything is perfect now We can live forever You can't abandon me You belong me Breathe in and take my life in you No longer myself only you There's no escaping me, my love Surrender Breathe in and take my life in you No longer myself only you There's no escaping me, my love Surrender |
