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 try to hide though they're screaming your name Don't close your eyes God knows what hides behind them Don't turn out the light Never sleep never die I'm frightened by what I see but somehow I know there's much more to come Imbolized by my fear Soon to be blinded by tears 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. ~Evanescence
How can you see into my eyes like open doors My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold until you find it there and lead it back home Wake me up inside Call my name and save me from the dark Bid my blood to run 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 Wake me up inside I can't wake up Call my name and save me from 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 I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems Gotta 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 Wake me up inside Save me from the nothing I've become Bring me to life. ~Evanescence
You're too important for anyone you play the role of what you want to be but I know who you really are you're hte one who cries when you're alone But where will you go when you're left to save you from yourself 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 your left to face yourself alone but where will you go when you're 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 am 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 no one left to save you from yourself You can't reject the whole world ~Evanescence
I've been walking in the mirror for so long that I've come to believe that my soul's on the other side All the little pieces fall Shatter Shards of me Too sharp to put back together too small too narrow But big enough to cut me into so many little pieces If I try to touch them I bleed I bleed I bleed and I brethe I breathe no more Take a breath and I try to draw from my spirit's well Never get to drink again 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 bleed I bleed and I breathe I breathe no more. ~Evanescence

LifeHouse....

I'm finding my way back to sanity...again...though I don't really know what I'm gonna do when I get there
Take a breath Hold on tight Spin around one more time and gracefully fall back to the arms of grace
Cause I am hanging on every word you say and even if you don't wanna speak tonight that's allright with me
Looking past the shadows in my mind into the truth and I'm trying to identify the voices in my head
God which one is you?
Let me feel one more time what it feels like to feel and break these callouses off of me one more time
I don't want a thing from you
Bet your tired of me
Waiting for the scraps to fall off of the table to the ground
I just wanna be here now

Welcome!




Two days past 18 he was waiting for the bus in his army greens sat down in a booth in a cafe there gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair he's a little shy so she give him a smile he said would you mind sittin down for awhile and talking to me I'm feeling a little low she said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go So they went down and they sat on the pier he said I bet you got a boyfriend but I do'nt care I got no one to send a letter to would you mind if I sent one back here to you I cried never going to hold the hand of another guy too young for him they told her waiting for the love of a traveling soldier our love will never end waiting for the soldier to come back again never more to be alone when the letter said a soldier's comin home So the letters came from an army camp in California then Vietnam And he told her of his heart it might be love and all the things he was so scared of he said when it's getting kinda rough over here I think of that day sitting out on the pier and I see your pretty smile don't worry but I won't be able to write for awhile I cried never going to hold the hand of another guy too young for him they told her waiting for the love of a traveling soldier our love will never end waiting for the soldier to come back again never more to be alone when the letter said a soldier's comin home One Friday night at a football game the Lord's prayer said and the anthem said a man said folk's would you bow your heads for a list of local Vietnam dead Crying all alone under the stands was a piccolo player in the marching band and one name read and no one really cared but a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair I cried never going to hold the hand of another guy too young for him they told her waiting for the love of a traveling soldier our love will never end waiting for the soldier to come back again never more to be alone when the letter said a soldier's comin I cried never going to hold the hand of another guy too young for him they told her waiting for the love of a traveling soldier our love will never end waiting for the soldier to come back again never more to be alone when the letter said a soldier's comin home ~ Dixie Chicks Travelin Soldier
