[Verse 1]
Way down
I’ve been way down
Underneath this skin
Waiting to hear my name again

[Chorus]
I’m sorry
Nothing can hold me
I adore you still
But I hear them calling
And nothing can hold me

[Verse 2]
Way down
(Do you really want me?)
All the way down
(Do you really want me here?)
I will hear your voice
(Do you really want me?)
But I’ll no longer understand
(But it's really not me here)

[Chorus]
I’m sorry
Nothing can hold me
I adore you still
But I hear them calling

[Bridge]
I was looking to the sky
When I knew I’d be swimming home
And I cannot betray my kind
They are here
It’s my time

[Chorus]
I’m sorry
Nothing can hold me
(Do you really want me here?)
I adore you still
But I hear them calling
(Calling)
And nothing can hold me

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.
