Evanescence : Not for Your Ears
Lyrics
1. 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
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
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
2. 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
3. ANYTHING FOR YOU
Id give anything to give me to you
Can you forget the words 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
I'll do anything you say just tell me
Anything for you
All without your hurt inside
Will ever never die
I'll be, everything you need
4. 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
[Chorus]
And I can't love you, anymore than I do
5. FARTHER AWAY
[Guitar Solo Open]
I took their smiles and I made them mine.
I,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,
Call out your name,
I see you there, father away.
Im 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,
Call out your name,
I see you there, father away.
Try to forget you,
But without you I feel nothing.
Don't leave me here, by myself.
I can't breathe.
I run to you,
Call out your name,
I see you there, father away.
I run to you,
Call out your name,
I see you there, father away,
Farther away,
Father away,
Father away,
Father away,
Father away.

[Guitar fades out]
6. 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
7. TOURNIQUET
Tried to kill the pain
But only brought 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
My wounds cry for the grave
My soul cries for deliverance
Will i be denied Christ
Tourniquet
My suicide
8. 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
9. HAUNTED
No lost words, whisper slowey, to me.
Still can't find what keeps me here.
And all this time I've been so hollow, inside,
(I know your still there).
Watching me,
Wanting me,
I can feel you haunt me down.
Fearing you,
Loving you,
I know I'll find you somehow.
Haunting you, I can smell you, alive
Your heart pounding in my head !
Wanting me,
Fearing me,
I won't let you haunt me down.
Deciving me,
Bringing me,
Watching me !
Watching me,
Haunting me,
I can fear you haunt me down.
Fearing you,
Loving you,
I won't let you haunt me down.
Watching me,
Wanting me,
I can feel you haunt me down.
Fearing you,
Loving you,
I won't let you haunt me down.
10. BEFORE THE DAWN
Meet me after dark again and I'll hold you (hold you )
I am nothing more than to see you there
And maybe tonight ...we'll fly so far way
We'll be lost before the dawn
If only night can hold you where I can see you, my love
And let me never ever wake again
And maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn
Somehow I know that we can't wake again
From this dream , its not real but it's ours...
Maybe tonight we'll fly away
We'll be lost before the dawn
Maybe tonight we'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn
11. 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
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! I know I've got to tell someone
Tell them what I know you've done
I fear you, but spoken fears can come true
Not what it seems,
Not what you think
I must be dreaming
Just in my mind,
Not real life
I must be dreaming
12. 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
13. TAKING OVER ME
(no lyrics availaible)
14. MISSING
Please, please forgive me,
But i won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll have woke 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?
{Chorus:}
Even though i'd be sacrificed,
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,
Shudder deep and cry out:
"Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?"
{Chorus}
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...
{Chorus}
15. 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
Hands up slowly
Give in to
Surrender...
16. 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 sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home
Chorus:
(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
Chorus
(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 were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
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 more
Bring me to life
Chorus
(Bring me to life)
I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside
(Bring me to life)
17. BREATH 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.
18. 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 like 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 hear those words from 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
19. YOU
The words have been drained from this pencil
Sweet words that I want to give you
And I cant sleep, I need to tell you... goodnight
When we're together I fell perfect
When I'm pulled away from you I fall apart
All that 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, Lady, 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
Somehow 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
So many nights I've cried myself to sleep
Now that you love me I love myself
I never thought I would say that
I never thought there'd be you
