EvaneScence

My Immortal

I’m so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fear
And if you hove to leave
I wish that you would just leave
‘Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won’t leave me alone

These wounds won’t seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There’s just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I’d wipe away all of your tears
When you’d scream I’d fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years but you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me by your resonating life
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 won’t seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There’s just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I’d wipe away all of your tears
When you’d scream I’d fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years but you still have
All of me

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

When you cried I’d wipe away all of your tears
When you’d scream I’d fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years but you still have
All of me

When you cried I’d wipe away all of your tears
When you’d scream I’d fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years but you still have
All of me

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 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 and 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

Lithium

Lithium - don't want to lock me up inside
Lithium - don't want to forget how it feels without
Lithium - I want to stay in love with my sorrow
Oh but God I want to let it go

Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone
Couldn't hide the emptiness - you let it show
Never wanted it to be so cold
Just didn't drink enough to say you love me

I can't hold on to me
Wonder what's wrong with me

Lithium - don't want to lock me up inside
Lithium - don't want to forget how it feels without
Lithium - I want to stay in love with my sorrow

Don't want to let it lay me down this time
Drown my will to fly
Here in the darkness I know myself
Can't break free until I let it go
Let me go

Darling, I forgive you after all
Anything is better than to be alone
And in the end I guess I had to fall
Always find my place among the ashes

I can't hold on to me
Wonder what's wrong with me

Lithium - don't want to lock me up inside
Lithium - don't want to forget how it feels without
Lithium - I want to stay in love with my sorrow
Oh but God I want to let it go

Seether & Amy Lee - Broken


[Seether]
(Verse 1)
I wanted you to know
That I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph
And I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

[Seether & Amy Lee]
(Chorus 1)
cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

[Seether]
(Bridge)
You've gone away
You don't feel me here....anymore

[Amy Lee]
(Verse 2)
The worst is over now
And we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn
And no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

[Seether & Amy Lee]
(Chorus 2)
cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

[Instruments]

[Seether & Amy Lee]
(Chorus 2)
cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

[Seether & Amy Lee]
(Chorus 1)
cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone [Seether]...away

[Seether and Amy Lee]
(Bridge)You're gone away
You don't feel me here....anymore

Exodus

My black backpack's 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

Show me the shadow where true meaning lies
So much more dismay in empty eyes

Give Unto Me


I've 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 troubles
I'll endure your suffering
Place onto me your burdens
I'll drink your deadly poison

Why should I care if they hurt you
Somehow it matters more to me
Than if I were hurting myself
Save you, I'll save you

Fear not the flame of my love's candle
Give unto me your troubles
I'll endure your suffering
Place onto me your burdens
I'll drink your deadly poison

Give unto me your troubles
I'll endure your suffering
Place onto me your burdens
I'll drink your deadly poison

Fear not the flame of my love's candle
Let it be the sun in your world of darkness

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

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’re not real and you can't save me
Somehow now you're everybody's fool

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?

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 and 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?

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

(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

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 of this sight I can’t believe I couldn’t see
Kept in the dark but you where there in front of me
I’ve been sleeping a 1000 years it seems I’ve 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 wrong
Bring me to life

(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

Bring me to life
I’ve been living a lie there’s nothing inside
Bring me to life

Going Under

Now I will tell you what I've done for you
Fifty thousand tears I've cried
Screaming, Deceiving, and bleeding for you
And you still won't hear me...
Going under

Don't want your hand this time
I'll save myself
Maybe I'll wake up the walls
Now tormented daily, defeated by you
Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom

I...dive...again... I'm going under (going under)
Drowning you (drowning you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break though
I'm going under

Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies
So I don't know what's real and what's lies
Always confusing the thoughts in my head
So I can't trust myself anymore

I...dive...again... I'm going under (going under)
Drowning you (drowning you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break though
I'm...So go on and scream
Scream at me
So far away
I won't be broken again
I've got to breathe...
I can't keep going under

I...dive...again... I'm going under (going under)
Drowning you (drowning you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break though
I'm going under (going under)
Going under (drowning you)
I'm going under

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

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 drive me
into madness
i know i can stop the pain
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

[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 my end

[chorus]

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

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

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,
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 ?
Will you forgive me ?

I'm dying,
Praying,
Bleeding,
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)
(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! Tourniquet! My suicide.

Imaginary

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

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

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

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

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 everything 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 are just like you are taking over

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

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
You're taking over me...

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
Holding my last breath?
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you?

Sweet rapture and life,
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 (you will find me)

I know you hear me,
I can taste it in your tears.
Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you?

Sweet rapture and life,
It ends here tonight.

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, holding me, as you fade to black.

(Say goodnight) Holding my last breath
(Don't be afraid) Safe inside myself
(Holding me) Are all my thoughts of you?
Sweet rapture and life,
It ends here tonight.

Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you?
Sweet rapture and life,
It ends here tonight.

Holding my last breath...

Call Me When You're Sober

Don't cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me
Come find me
Make up your mind

Should I let you fall
Lose it all
So maybe you can remember yourself
Can't keep believing
We're only deceiving ourselves
And I'm sick of the lie
And you're too late

Don't cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me
Come find me
Make up your mind

Couldn't take the blame
Sick with shame
Must be exhausting to lose your own game
Selfishly hated
No wonder you're jaded
You can't play the victim this time
And you're too late

Don't cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me
Come find me
Make up your mind

You never call me when you're sober
You only want it cause it's over
It's over
How could I have burned paradise
How could I - you were never mine!

So don't cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
Don't lie to me
Just get your things
I've made up your mind

Sweet Sacrifice

It's true, we're all a little insane
but its so clear
now that I'm unchained

fear is only in our minds
taking over all the time
fear is only in our minds but its taking over all the time

you poor sweet innocent thing
dry your eyes and testify
you know you live to break me - don't deny
sweet sacrifice

One day I'm gonna forget your name
and one sweet day, you're gonna drown in my lost pain

fear is only in our minds
taking over all the time
fear is only in our minds but its taking over all the time

you poor sweet innocent thing
dry your eyes and testify
and oh you love to hate me don't you, honey?
I'm your sacrifice.

I dream in darkness
I sleep to die
erase the silence
erase my life
our burning ashes
blacken the day
a world of nothingness
blow me away

do you wonder why you hate?
are you still too weak to survive your mistakes?

you poor sweet innocent thing
dry your eyes and testify
you know you live to break me- don't deny
sweet sacrifice

The Last Song I'm Wasting On You

Sparkling grey that line your wings
Anymore than a whisper
Any sudden movement of my heart
And I know,
I know I’ll have to watch them pass away
Just get through this day

Give up the way
You could be anything
Give up my way
And lose myself
Not today
There’s too much guilt to pay

Sickened in the sun
You dare tell me you love me
But you held me down and screamed you wanted me to die
Honey you know,
You know I’d never hurt you that way
You’re just so pretty in your pain

Give up my way
I can’t be anything
I’ll make my own way
Without your senseless hate

So run, run, run
And hate me if it feels good
I can’t hear your screams anymore
You lied to me
But I’m older now
And I’m not buying "baby..."
Demanding my response
Don’t bother breaking the door down
I’ve found my way out

And you’ll never hurt me again

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

Hands up slowly
Give in to me

Breathe in and take my life in you
No longer myself only you
There's no escaping me my love
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender
Surrender

Solitude

2.. 3.. 4

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 here another night

Your secret admirer
Who could it be?

Ooo..
Can't 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

Ooo, solitude
Forever me and forever you
Ooo, solitude
Only you, only true

Where Will You Go (оригинал EvaneScence)
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
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'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 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

Перевод:
Куда ты денешься?
Ты слишком важен для каждого.
Ты играешь роли тех, кем хотел бы стать.
Но только я - я знаю, кто ты на самом деле:
Ты - из тех, кто плачет в одиночестве.
Но куда ты денешься?
Никто не собирается спасать тебя от самого себя.
Ты не можешь убежать,
Ты не можешь убежать.
Ты думаешь, я не могу видеть правду в твоих глазах,
Испуганных до смерти от увиденной действительности.
Ясно, что никто не слышит крики твоей души.
Ты остался один на один с собой.
Но куда ты денешься?
Никто не собирается спасать тебя от самого себя.
Ты не можешь избежать правды.
Я вижу, что ты боишься,
Но ты не можешь всех бросить.
Ты не можешь убежать,
Ведь ты не хочешь этого.
Я так устала говорить слова, которые никому не понятны.
Неужели еще не до конца понятно, что ты не можешь всю жизнь быть один?
Я слышу твой шепот, а ты не слышишь меня, даже если я кричу.
Куда ты денешься?
Никто не собирается спасать тебя от самого себя.
Ты не можешь избежать правды.
Я вижу, как ты боишься,
Но ты не можешь отвергнуть весь мир.
Ты не можешь убежать,
Ты не убежишь,
Ты не можешь убежать,
Да ты и не хочешь этого.

Текст песни «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

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

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 no one needs a reason

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

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
