“Lies”, Evanescence, Origin (2000)
Songs called “Lies”, 10th in a series
This song is from Arkansas rock band Evanescence’s first full-length demo CD. They printed 2500 copies and sold them at concerts; these days the band apparently tells fans to just download the song from the Internet. I’m happy to comply.
Fun fact: I had no idea who Evanescence was. Until I actually played the video, I thought it was going to be, like, a lady R&B band. This is not meant as a knock on Evanescence. This is very much an admission of cluelessness by me.
Lyrics:
Bound at every limb by my shackles of fear
Sealed with lies through so many tears
Lost from within, pursuing the end
I fight for the chance to be lied to again
You will never be strong enough
You will never be good enough
You were never conceived in love
You will not rise above
[Chorus:]
They’ll never see
I’ll never be
I’ll struggle on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me
But through my tears breaks a blinding light
Birthing a dawn to this endless night
Arms outstretched, awaiting me
An open embrace upon a bleeding tree
Rest in me and I’ll comfort you
I have lived and I died for you
Abide in me and I vow to you
I will never forsake you
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Rest in me and I’ll comfort you
I have lived and I died for you
Abide in me and I vow to you
I will never forsake you
[Chorus]
