[Verse 1]
I'm the widow
On the tip-tippy-toppy of the highest high of low
And I’m the shadow
Of the first little flower on the brightest patch of snow

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Happiness can be hard to find
I'm so slap silly happy
Everybody wants to take mine

[Chorus]
Yeah, right
That sounds nice
Everything we ever wanted and more
Someday we'll get paid
More than it was worth to sell our souls
Yeah, yeah, right

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I’m a rock star
I'm a queen resurrected, just as messed up as before
Twist the knife hard
Just makes it easier to tell you I don't need you anymore (Oh)

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Life's a game 'til you lose, then what?
I'm reaching a new level of not giving a fuck

[Chorus]
Yeah, right
That sounds nice
Everything we ever wanted and more
Someday (I can't wait for the day)
We'll get paid
More than it was worth to sell our souls

[Bridge]
Tell me, how is the real world treating you?
Is that my fault too?
My one mistake was giving more and more and more
More and more and more

[Chorus]
Hey, yeah
Yeah, right
Baby, that sounds nice (That sounds nice)
Everything you ever wanted and more
Someday (I can’t wait for the day)
We’ll get paid
More than it was worth to sell our souls, sell our souls

[Outro]
Yeah, right
That sounds nice
More than it was worth to sell our souls

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.
