[Verse 1]
I can't see your star
I can't see your star
Though I patiently waited, bedside, for the death of today
I can't see your star
The mechanical lights of Lisbon frightened it away

[Chorus]
And I'm alone now
Me and all I stood for
We're wandering now
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely, find your own way out

[Verse 2]
I can't see your star
I can't see your star
How can the darkness feel so wrong?

[Chorus]
And I'm alone now
Me and all I stood for
We're wandering now
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely, find your own way out

[Bridge]
So far away
It's growing colder without your love
Why can't you feel me calling your name?
Can't break the silence
It's breaking me
All my fears turn to rage

[Chorus]
And I'm alone now, me
And all I stood for
We're wandering now
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely, find your own way out

[Outro]
And nothing worth fighting for
We're wandering now
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely
Find your own way out

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.
