Not for your ears

Evanescence - Anything for you



I'd give anything to give me to you
Can you forget the world that you thought you knew
If you want me,
Come and find me
Nothing's stopping you so please release me

I'll believe
All your lies
Just pretend you love me
Make believe
Close your eyes
I'll be anything for you

Have you left to make me feel anymore
There's only you and everyday I need more
If you want me
Come and find me
Ill do anything you say just tell me

I'll believe
All your lies
Just pretend you love me
Make believe
Close your eyes
I'll be anything for you

I'll believe
All your lies
Just pretend you love me
Make believe
Close your eyes
I'll be anything for you

Anything for you
All without your hurt inside
Will never never die
I'll be, everything you need

I'll believe
All your lies
Just pretend you love me
Make believe
Close your eyes
I'll be anything for you

Evanescence - 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

[Chorus]
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

[Chanting]

[Music Fades Out]

Evanescence - Breathe no more



I've been looking in the mirror for so long.
That I've come to believe my souls on the other side.
Oh 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.
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.

Evanescence - Bring me to life (Original)



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 all the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I’ve become
Bring me to life

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

Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from all the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I’ve become
Bring me to life
Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love darling, only you are the life among the dead

Bring me to life

Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from all the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I’ve become
Bring me to life

Bring me to life

Bring me to life

Evanescence - 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

[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, 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

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

Evanescence - 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 don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled

It never was and never will be
You're not real and you can't save me
Somehow now you're everybody's fool

Evanescence - Farther away



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
(run away from this hell)
Call out your name
(giving up, giving in)
I see you there farther away
(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.

I run to you
(run away from this hell)
Call out your name
(giving up, giving in)
I see you there farther away!
(still you are, farther away!)

Tried to forget you but without you I feel nothing
Don't leave me here, by myself
I can't breathe!

I run to you
(run away from this hell)
Call out your name
(giving up giving in)
I see you there farther away!
(still you are, farther away!)

I run to you
(run away from this hell)
Call out your name
(giving up, giving in)
I see you there farther away!
(still you are, farther away!)

Farther away!
Farther away!
Farther away!
Farther away!
Farther away!

(Drumming Instrumental Fading Out)

Evanescence - 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 that 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 kill those words for 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

Evanescence - Haunted



Long lost words whisper 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...

Evanescence - Hello



Playground school bell rings again,
Rain clouds come to play again,
Has no one told you she's not breathing?
Hello, I'm 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...
Hello (continued)

Evanescence - I must be dreaming



I Must Be Dreaming

How can I pretend that I don't see?
What you hide so carelessly?
I saw her bleed
You heard me breathe
And I froze inside myself
And turned away

I must be dreaming

We all live (and)
We all die (but)
That does not begin to justify you

It's not what it seems
Not what you think
No, I must be dreaming
It's only in my mind
Not 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 (and)
We all die (but)
That does not begin to justify you

It's not what it seems
Not what you think
No, I must be dreaming
It's only in my mind
Not real life
No, I must be dreaming

We all live (and)
We all die (but)
That does not begin to justify you

It's not what it seems
Not what you think
No, I must be dreaming
It's only in my mind
Not 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

Evanescence - Imaginary



Swallow it up for the sound of my screaming
cannot cease for the fear of silent night
Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
the goddess of imaginary light

In my field of paper flowers
and candied clouds of multiply
I lye inside myself for hours
and watch my purple sky fly over me

I linger in the doorway
our alarm clock screaming monsters calling widening
let me stay
where the wind will whisper to me
where the raindrops as there falling
tell there story

If you need to leave the world you live in
lay your head down and stay awake
though you may not remember dreaming
something waits for you to breath again

In my field of paper flowers
and candied clouds of multiply
I lye inside myself for hours
and watch my purple sky fly over me

Evanescence - Missing



Whispered:
Can you stop the fire?
Can you stand to fight her?
You cant stop the fire,
you wont say the words.

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?

Whispered:
Can you stop the fire?
Can you stand to fight her?
You cant stop the fire,
you wont say the words.

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?"

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?

And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
I'll wake without you there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something.......

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 something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?

Whispered:
Can you stop the fire?
Can you stand to fight her?
You cant stop the fire,
you wont say the words.

Evanescence - 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 to 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
Surrender
Surrender…

Evanescence - Taking over me (Long)



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 saw me mourning my love for you and touched my hand
I knew you loved me then

I believe in you
I'll give up everthing just to find you
I have to be with you
To live, to breathe
You're taking over me

I look in the mirror and see your face
If I look deep enough
So many things inside that just like you
Are taking over

I believe in you
I'll give up everthing just to find you
I have to be with you
To live, to breathe
You're taking over me
(repeat)

Evanescence - 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 saw me mourning my love for you and touched my hand
I knew you loved me then

I believe in you
I'll give up everthing just to find you
I have to be with you
To live, to breathe
You're taking over me

I look in the mirror and see your face
If I look deep enough
So many things inside that just like you
Are taking over

I believe in you
I'll give up everthing just to find you
I have to be with you
To live, to breathe
You're taking over me

Evanescence - Untitled (I must be dreaming)



How can I pretend that I dont see
what you hide so carelessly
I saw her bleed
you heard me breathe
and I froze inside myself
and turned away
I must be dreaming

We all live...
We all die...
That does not begin to justify you

It's not what it seems
Not what you think
No I must be dreaming
It's only in my mind
Not 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 justify you

It's not what it seems
Not what you think
No I must be dreaming
It's only in my mind
Not real life
No I must be dreaming


We all live...
We all die...
That does not begin to justify you

It's not what it seems
Not what you think
No I must be dreaming
It's only in my mind
Not real life
No I must be dreaming

Not what it seems
Not what you think
I must be dreaming

Just in my mind
Not real life
I must be dreaming

Evanescence - 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
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?
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

(Return to me salvation)

(Ohhhhhh)

(I want to die)

My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation

My wounds cry for the grave
My soul cries for deliverance
Will I be denied?
Christ? (Christ)
Tourniquet
My suicide

(Return to me salvation)

(Return to me salvation)

Evanescence - 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...

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...

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 the end

oh oh oh oooh oh
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...)

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...)

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...)

Servatis a periculum...
Servatis a maleficum...
(repeat and fade out)

Evanescence - You




The words have been drained from this pencil,
Sweet words that I want to give you.
And I can't sleep, I need to tell you
Goodnight.

When we're together I feel perfect,
When I'm pulled away from you, I fall apart,
All you say is sacred to me,
Your eyes are so blue, I can't look away,
As we lay in the stillness, you whisper to me:

Amy, marry me, promise you'll stay with me
Oh you don't have to ask me,
You know you're all that I live for,
you know i'd die just to hold you, stay with you,
Some how I'll show you, that you are my night sky
I've always been right behind you,
Now I'll always be right beside you

(Instrumental)

So many nights I've cried myself to sleep
But now that you love me i love my self.
I never thought i would say this,
I never thought there'd be...you.
