Understanding Lyrics - Evanescence

"You hold the answers deep within your own mind. 

Consciously, you've forgotten it. 

That's the way the human mind works: 

whenever something is too unpleasant, to shameful for us 

to entertain, we reject it. 

We erase it from our memories. 

But the imprint is always there." 

(Can't wash it all away) 

(Can't Wish it all away) 

(Can't hope it all away) 

(Can't cry it all away)

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

The pain that grips you 

The fear that blinds you 

Releases life in me 

In our mutual 

Shame we hide our eyes 

To blind them from the truth 

That finds a way from who we are 

Please don't be afraid 

When the darkness fades away 

The dawn will break the silence 

Screaming in our hearts 

My love for you still grows 

This I do for you 

Before I try to fight the truth my final time 

"We're supposed to try and be real. 

And I feel alone, and we're not together. And that is real."

Can't wash it all away 

Can't wish it all away 

Can't cry it all away 

Can't scratch it all away 

Lying beside you 

Listening to you breathe 

The life that flows inside of you 

Burns inside of me 

Hold and speak to me 

Of love without a sound 

Tell me you will live through this 

And I will die for you 

Cast me not away 

Say you'll be with me 

For I know I cannot 

Bear it all alone 

"You're not alone, honey. 

Never... Never." 

Can't fight it all away 

Can't hope it all away 

Can't scream it all away 

It just won't fade away, no 

Can't wash it all away 

Can't wish it all away 

Can't cry it all away 

Can't scratch it all away 

(Can't fight it all away) 

(Can't hope it all away) 

Can't scream it all away 

Ooh, it all away 

Ooh, it all away 

"But the imprint is always there. Nothing is ever really forgotten." 

"God, please don't hate me. 

Because I'll die if you do. 

Because I'll die if you do. 

Because I'll die if you do. 

Because I'll die if you do."
