[Verse 1]
Do what you, what you want
If you have a dream for better
Do what you, what you want
'Til you don’t want it anymore (Remember who you really are)

[Verse 2]
Do what you, what you want
Your world’s closing in on you now (It isn’t over)
Stand and face the unknown (Got to remember who you really are)

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Every heart in my hands
Like a pale reflection

[Chorus 1]
Hello, hello, remember me?
I’m everything you can’t control
Somewhere beyond the pain
There must be a way to believe
We can break through

[Verse 3]
Do what you, what you want
You don’t have to lay your life down (It isn’t over)
Do what you, what you want
‘Til you find what you’re looking for (Got to remember who you really are)

[Pre-Chorus 2]
But every hour slipping by
Screams that I have failed you

[Chorus 2]
Hello, hello, remember me?
I’m everything you can’t control
Somewhere beyond the pain
There must be a way to believe

[Chorus 2]
Hello, hello, remember me?
I’m everything you can’t control
Somewhere beyond the pain
There must be a way to believe

[Bridge]
There’s still time
Close your eyes
Only love will guide you home
Tear down the walls and free your soul
'Til we crash
We’re forever spiraling
Down, down, down, down

[Chorus 3]
Hello, hello
It’s only me infecting everything you love
Somewhere beyond the pain
There must be a way to believe

[Chorus 4]
Hello, hello, remember me?
I’m everything you can’t control
Somewhere beyond the pain
There must be a way to learn forgiveness

[Chorus 1]
Hello, hello, remember me?
I’m everything you can’t control
Somewhere beyond the pain
There must be a way to believe
We can break through

[Outro]
Remember who you really are
Do what you, what you want

Evanescence

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.
