The Open Door
Evanescence: 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 e
rase 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
Evanescence: Call Me When You're Sober
Don't
cry to me
If you
loved me
You
would be here with me
You
want me
Confine 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
Confine
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
Confine
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
Evanescence: Weight of the World
Feels like the
weight of the world
like God in heaven gave me a turn
don't cling to me,
I swear I can't fix you
still in the dark,
can you fix me?
freefall,
freefall, all through life
If you love me, then let
go of me
I wont be held
down by who I used to be
she's nothing to
me
Feels like the
weight of the world
like all my screaming has gone
unheard
and ohm I know
you don't believe in me
safe in the dark,
how can you see?
freefall,
freefall, all through life
If you love me,
then let go of me
I wont be held
down by who I used to be
Evanescence: 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
Evanescence:
Cloud Nine
If you want to live,
let live
if you want to go, let go
I'm not afraid to
dream- to sleep, sleep forever
I don't need to touch
the sky
I just want to feel
that high
and you refuse to lift
me
guess it wasn't real
after all
guess it wasn't real
all along
If I fall and all is
lost
its where I belong
If you want to live, let live
if you want to go, let
go
I'm never gonna be
your sweet, sweet surrender
guess it wasn't real
after all
guess it wasn't real all
along
If I fall and all is
lost
no light to lead the
way
remember that all alone
is where I belong
In a dream
will you give your love
to me
beg my broken heart to
beat
save my life
change my mind
If I fall and all is
lost
no light to lead the
way
remember that all alone is where I belong
Evanescence: Snow White Queen
Stoplight lock the door
don't look back
undress in the dark
and
hide from you
all
of you
You'll never know the way your words have haunted me
I can't believe you'd ask these
things of me
you
don't know me
You
belong to me
my
snow white queen
there's nowhere
to run, so lets just get it over
soon
I know you'll see
you're just like me
don't
scream anymore my love, cause all I want is you
Wake
up in a dream
frozen fear
all
your hands on me
I can't scream
I
can't escape the twisted way you think of me
I feel
you in my dreams and I don't sleep
You
belong to me
my
snow white queen
there's nowhere to run, so lets just get it over
soon I
know you'll see
you're just like me
don't
scream anymore my love, cause all I want is you
I can't
save your life
though
nothing I bleed for is more tormenting
I'm
losing my mind and you just stand there and stare as my world
divides
You belong to me
my snow
white queen
there's
nowhere to run, so lets just get it over
soon I
know you'll see
you're just like me
don't
scream anymore my love, cause all I want is you
Evanescence: Lacrymosa
Out on your own
cold and alone again
can this be what you really wanted, baby?
Blame it on me
set your
guilt free
nothing can hold you back now
Now that you're gone
I feel like myself again
grieving the things I can't repair and willing ...
to let you blame it on me
and set your guilt free
I don't want to hold you back now love
I can't change who I am
not this time, I wont lie to keep you
near me
and in this short life, there's no time to waste on giving up
my love wasn't enough
and
you can blame it on me
just set your guilt free, honey
I don't want to hold you back now love
Evanescence: Your Star
I can't see
your star
I can't see
your star
though I
patiently waited, bedside, for the death of today
I can't see
your star
the mechanical
lights of Lisbon frightened it away
and I'm alone
now
me and all I
stood for
we're
wandering now
all in parts
in pieces, swim lonely
find your own
way out
I can't see
your star
I can't see your star
how can the
darkness feel so wrong?
and I'm
alone now
me and all I
stood for
we're
wandering now
all in parts
in pieces, swim lonely
find your
own way out
So far away
its growing
colder without your love
why can't you
feel me calling your name?
can't break
the silence
its breaking
me
all my fears
turn to rage
and I'm alone now
me
and all I
stood for
we're
wandering now
all in parts
and pieces, swim lonely
find your own way out
Evanescence:
Lose Control
You
don't remember my name
I
don't really care
can we
play the game your way?
can I
really lose control?
just
once in my life
I
think it'd be nice
just to lose control- just once
with
all the pretty flowers in the dust
Mary
had a lamb
his
eyes black as coals
if we play very
quiet, my lamb
Mary
never has to know
just
once in my life
I
think it'd be nice
just to lose
control- just once
if I
cut you down to a thing I can use
I fear
there will be nothing good left of you
Evanescence: The Only One
When they all come crashing down
midflight
you know
you're not the only one
when
they're so alone they find a back door out of life
you know
you're not the only one
We're all
grieving
lost and
bleeding
All our
lives
we've been
waiting
for someone to call
our leader
all your
lies
I'm not
believing
heaven
shine a light down on me
So afraid to open your eyes-
hypnotized
you know
you're not the only one
never
understood this life
and you're
right I don't deserve but you know I'm not the only one
We're all
grieving
lost and
bleeding
All our
lives
we've been
waiting
for someone to call
our leader
all your
lies
I'm not
believing
heaven
shine a light down on me
Don't look down
don't look
into the eyes of the world beneath you
don't look
down, you'll fall down,
you'll
become their sacrifice
right or wrong
can't hold
onto the fear that I'm lost without you
if I can't
feel, I'm not mine,
I'm not real
All our lives
we've been
waiting
for someone
to call our leader
all your lies
I'm not
believing
heaven shine a light
down on me
Evanescence: Like You
Stay low
soft, dark, and dreamless
far beneath my nightmares and loneliness
I hate me
for breathing without you
I
don't want to feel anymore for you
grieving for you
I'm not grieving for you
nothing real love
can't undo
and though I may have lost my way
all paths lead straight to you
I long to be like
you
lie cold in the ground like you
Halo
blinding wall between us
melt away and leave us alone again
humming, haunted somewhere out there
I believe our love can see us through in death
I long to be like you
lie cold in the ground like you
there's room inside for two
and I'm not grieving for you
I'm coming for you
You're not alone
no matter what they told you
you're not alone
I'll be right beside you forevermore
I long to be like you, sis
lie cold in the ground
like you did
there's room inside for two and I'm not grieving for you
and as we lay in silent bliss
I
know you remember me
I long to be like you
lie cold in the ground like you
there's room
inside for two and I'm not grieving for you
I'm coming for you
Evanescence: All That I'm Living For
All that I'm
living for
all that I'm dying
for
all that I can't
ignore alone at night
I can feel the
night beginning
separate me from
the living
understanding me
after all I've
seen
piecing every
thought together
find the words to
make me better
if I only knew how
to pull myself apart
All that I'm
living for
all that I'm dying
for
all that I can't
ignore alone at night
all that I'm
wanted for
although I wanted more lock the last open door- my ghosts are gaining on me
I believe that
dreams are sacred
take my darkest
fears and play them
like a lullaby
like a reason why
like a play of my
obsessions
make me understand
the lesson
so I'll find myself
so I wont be lost
again
All that I'm living
for
all that I'm dying for
all that I can't
ignore alone at night
all that I'm wanted
for
although I wanted
more
lock the last open
door- my ghosts are gaining on me
Guess I thought I'd
have to change the world
to make you see me
to be the one
I could have run
forever
but how for would I have come
without mourning
your love?
All that I'm living
for
all that I'm dying
for
all that I can't
ignore alone at night
all that I'm wanted
for
although I wanted
more
lock the last open
door- my ghosts are gaining on me
should it hurt to
love you?
should I feel like
I do?
should I lock the
last open door-
my ghosts are
gaining on me
Evanescence: Good Enough
Under your spell again
I can't
say no to you
crave my
heart and its bleeding in your hand
I can't
say no to you
Shouldn't have let you
torture me so sweetly
now I
can't let go of this dream
I can't
breathe but I feel
Good
enough
I feel good
enough for you
Drink up
sweet decadence
I can't
say no to you
and I've
completely lost myself and I don't mind
I can't
say no to you
Shouldn't
have let you conquer me completely
now I
can't let go of this dream
can't believe that I feel
Good enough
I feel good
enough
its been
such a long time coming, but I feel good
and I'm still waiting for the rain to
fall
pour real
life down on me
cause I
can't hold on to anything this good
enough
am I good enough
for you to
love me too?
so take
care what you ask of me
cause I
can't say no
