| Evanescence Origin Lyrics |
| 1. Origin 2. 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 [Chorus] 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 that there's much more to come Immobolised, by my fear And soon to be, blinded by tears I can stop the pain 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 I shall begin Forsaking all i've fallen for I rise to meet the end [Chrous] 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 imaginary light [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 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 If you need to leave the world you live in Lay your head down and stay a while Though you may not remember dreaming Something waits for you to breathe again [Chorus] 4. 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 wont leave me alone These wounds wont seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase [Chorus] When you'd 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 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 These wounds wont seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase [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] 5. Where Will You Go You're too important for anyone You play the role of all you want to be But I, I know who you really are You're the one who cries when you're alone But where will you go With no one left to save you from yourself You can't escape You can't escape me 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 But 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 abandon everyone You can't escape You don't want to escape I am 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 in a whisper But you can't even hear me screaming 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 reject the whole world You can't escape You won't escape You can't escape You don't want to escape 6. Field of Innocence still remember the world From the eyes of a child Slowly those feelings Were clouded by what I know now Where has my heart gone An uneven trade for the real world I want to go back to Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all I still remember the sun Always warm on my back Somehow it seems colder now Where has my heart gone Trapped in the eyes of a stranger I want to go back to Believing in everything 7. Even In Death Give me a reason to believe that you're gone. I see your shadow so I know, That 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. [Chorus] 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, ooh my love. But no bonds can hold me, From your side, ooh my love. They don't know you can't leave me. They don't hear you singing to me. [Chorus] And I can't love you, anymore than I do [Chorus] 8. Anywhere Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me And dear my love, haven't you longed to be free I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you And at sweet night, you are my own Take my hand [Chorus] We're leaving here tonight There's no need to tell anyone They'd only hold us down So by the morning light We'll be half way to anywhere Where love is more than just your name I have dreamt of a place for you and I No one knows who we are there All I want is to give my life only to you I've dreamt so long I cannot dream anymore Let's run away, I'll take you there [Chorus] Forget this life Come with me Don't look back you're safe now Unlock your heart Drop your guard No one's left to stop you Forget this life Come with me Don't look back you're safe now Unlock your heart Drop your guard No one's left to stop you now [Chorus] 9. Lies Bound at every limb by my shackles of fear Sealed with lies through so many tears Lost from within, pursuing the end I fight for the chance to be lied to again You will never be strong enough You will never be good enough You were never conceived in love You will not rise above [Chorus] They'll never see I'll never be I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger Burning deep inside of me But through my tears breaks a blinding light Birthing a dawn to this endless night Arms outstretched, awaiting me An open embrace upon a bleeding tree Rest in me and I'll comfort you I have lived and I died for you Abide in me and I vow to you I will never forsake you [Chorus] [Chorus] 10. Away From Me I hold my breath as this life starts to take its toll I hide behind a smile as this perfect plan unfolds But oh, God, I feel I've been lied to Lost all faith in the things I have achieved And I [Chorus] I've woken now to find myself In the shadows of all I have created I'm longing to be lost in you (away from this place I have made) Won't you take me away from me Crawling through this world as disease flows through my veins I look into myself, but my own heart has been changed I can't go on like this I loathe all I've become [Chorus] Lost in a dying world I reach for something more I have grown so weary of this lie I live [Chorus] 11.
