[Verse 1]
Everything is so dark and I know there's something wrong
But I can't turn the light on
In that split second change when you knew we couldn't hold on
I realized I live to love you

[Chorus]
Save yourself, don't look back
Tearing us apart until it's all gone
The only world I've ever known
Sleeps beneath the waves, but I remember

[Verse 2]
I won't give up on you, I can feel you in my heart
Just show me the way, I don't belong here
Alone
I can still see your face where it's burned into my mind
I die every time I close my eyes, you're always there

[Chorus]
Save yourself, don't look back
Tearing us apart until it's all gone
The only world I've ever known
Sleeps beneath the waves
But I'm the one who's drowning, without your love
I am lost and I can never go back home

[Outro]
All across the ocean
We are calling, calling
Are you there?
Nothing left for me till I find you because it's
All gone
The only world I've ever known sleeps beneath the waves
But I'm the one who's drowning
Without your love
I am lost and I can never go back
I can never go back home

Evanescence is an American rock band founded in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1995 by singer/pianist Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody. Evanescence was originally promoted in Christian stores. Later, the band made it clear they did not want to be considered part of the Christian rock genre, like fellow Wind-up Records artists Creed. Some of their most popular hits “Bring Me to Life,” “My Immortal,” and “What You Want.”

In 2014, the band parted ways with their long-term record label Wind-Up and became independent artists. In late 2016, they released a Ultimate Collection box set featuring all their albums along with the 2000 demo album Origin and a B-sides compilation Lost Whispers.

In November 2017, they released their fourth album, Synthesis, featuring a reimagining of some of their past songs plus two new original songs with the spotlight on full orchestra and electronics.
