[Verse 1]
Not on your life
Won't let it break me, won't give up the fight
But on this last thread, I'm holding so tight
Feed my imaginings, don't let a sweet dream die

[Verse 2]
Not on your life
I'm not abandoning - I have survived
Somehow still standing through death and through time
I need your love like a drug keeping me alive

[Pre-Chorus]
Drown me in your blinding light

[Chorus 1]
I will be more than my survival
Own these scars on my heart
Even in dreams I hear you calling
Breaking the surface, I won't let go
You're part of me

[Verse 3]
Can't stop me now
Just clawed my way back from deep underground
No time for hatred, no holding back now
Set me on firе, I like it the way it burns

[Verse 4]
Hands on your heart
Who rеally thought we would make it this far?
What good could come of embracing the dark?
We found each other through brokenness and now look how strong we are

[Pre-Chorus]
Drown me in your blinding light

[Chorus 2]
I will be more than my survival
Own these scars on my heart
Even in dreams I hear you calling
So I know it's still worth believing
It's not just a feeling
As long as I don't let it go
Don't let me go

[Chorus 3]
I will be more than my survival
Own these scars on my heart
Even in dreams I hear you calling
Breaking the surface, I won't let go
You're part of me now and always

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.
