Evanescence [EP] lyrics

Catch me as I fall
Say your here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No ones 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 into the dark)
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 lights

Intro:
You hold the answer deep within your own mind.
Consciously you've forgotten it.
That's the way the human mind works.
Whenwver 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.

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

[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

Don’t say I’m out of touch

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

How many times have you told me you love her
As many times as I've wanted to tell you the truth
How long have I stood here beside you
I live through you
You looked through me
Ooh, Solitude,
Still with me is only you
Ooh, 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

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

My black backpack's stuffed with broken dreams
20 bucks should get me through the week
Never said a word of discontentment
Fought it a thousand times but now
I'm leaving home
[CHORUS:]
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 am just alone
But I won't cry
