Do what you what you want If you have a dream for better Do what you what you want Till you dont want it anymore (Remember who you really are) Do what you what you want Every heart in my hands like a pale reflection Hello, hello, remember me? Do what you what you want But every hour slipping by screams that I have failed you Hello, hello, remember me? Theres still time Hello, hello, it’s only me Hello, hello, remember me? Remember who you really are |
Speak your mind Like I care I can see your lips moving I’ve just learned not to hear Don’t waste your time It’s never enough for you, baby Take your time It’s never enough (I’m not gonna play) |
Thought that I was strong I know the words I need to say Frozen in my place I let the moment slip away Ive been screaming on the inside Ah, ah, ah Never meant to lie Not that Im so different Cause Ive been screaming on the inside Youve been dreaming if youre thinking |
I will wander till the end of time Torn away from youI pulled away to face the pain I close my eyes and drift away Over the fear that I will never find a way to heal my soul And I will wander till the end of time torn away from youMy heart is broken Sweet sleep, my dark angel Deliver us from sorrow’s hold Over my heart, heart I can’t go on living this way Change My heart is broken |
Make me whole again Open your eyes Taunted by the shadows of your light Cold and far away Like you’re not even mine Undo everything and take me higher Never believing what they say cause Im Counting the days to meet you on the other side Im not giving in I am so lost without my place inside your heart |
Its too late to change your mind Even though this fragile world Is tearing apart at the seams I cant wash these sins away Is it so hard for you? Im not gonna let this day go by Not enough to say goodbye Is it so hard for you? The waters rising around us Is it so hard for you? |
I’ve been believing In something so distant As if I was human And I’ve been denying This feeling of hopelessness In me, in me All the promises I made I have nothing left As much as I’d like Run away, run away ‘Til I have nothing left |
Embrace the silence Cause theres nothing that can change the way I feel Taken all that you wanted Now theres nothing that can change the way I feel Hold on, little girl Sick of it all, sick of it all Oceans between us Someday youll know the pain |
I found a grave Brushed off the face Felt your light and I remember why I know this place I found a bird As much as it hurts Im not afraid Why must we fall apart Follow your heart til it bleeds |
Don’t wanna be the one to walk away But I can’t bear the thought of one more day I think I finally understand what it means to be lost Can’t find the road to lead us out of this Cross the oceans in my mind Fallen so far from where we were before Cross the oceans in my mind And we never learn |
Everything is so dark And I know there’s something wrong But I can’t turn the light on In that split second change Save yourself I can still see your face Save yourself All across the ocean Nothing left for me ‘til I find you |
Way down Ive been way down Underneath this skin Waiting to hear my name again Im sorry Way down (Do you really want me?) I was looking to the sky |
Serve your twisted enemy So you might earn forgiveness You know your whole world is waiting So why can’t you speak? I feel it coming over me So go and tell all your friends By drifting far beyond the edge |
It’s taking you too long to decide And I don’t want to be the one, the one Crying over wasted time If you think you’re strong enough to let me in I’m tired of feeling so alone Say you will or say you won’t Whenever you’re around I can’t fight it Tell me what you want from me or leave me alone I’m tired of holding on so tight |
Hollow, like you don’t remember me Underneath everything I guess I always dreamed That I would be Don’t you want to feel? Frozen But I could be Don’t you want to feel? All alone Don’t you want to feel? |
Turn out the lights Feed the fire ‘til my soul breaks free My heart is high as the waves above me Don’t need to understand And I, I will remember how to fly Look past the end |

Curiosidades
“É sobre a banda; é um álbum da banda e sobre eu me apaixonando de novo por isso tudo”.
Até a concepção final do álbum, Amy passou por três diferentes momentos de composição. Foram gravadas mais de 19 músicas, algumas sendo permanentemente arquivadas. Em 2008, Amy declarou à SPIN que estava experimentando coisas na linha celta. Depois que trabalhou com Will “Science” Hunt na trilha sonora de Nightmare Revisited, no entanto, sentiu que as coisas estavam indo para uma nova direção e nada mais seria utilizado no novo álbum.
O álbum começou mesmo a ser feito só em 2010, após alguns experimentos na casa de Amy junto com Terry e Tim. Ela se juntou ao produtor Steve Lillywhite no estúdio e a direção estava sendo bem eletrônica, segundo tweets da própria Amy. Uma série de curtos vídeos foram postados por ela ilustrando partes das músicas, que foram inclusive mostradas à gravadora (Wind-Up) na época, e também pedidos de ideias para o nome do álbum. Entretanto, segundo a própria Amy disse à Billboard, “eu me toquei que estava fazendo um álbum solo e, como era pra ser um álbum do Evanescence, nós precisávamos nos juntar e fazer isso como uma banda”.
Em 2011, a banda se juntou para trabalhar colaborativamente em estúdio com o produtor Nick Raskulinecz. Algumas canções foram aproveitadas da época de Steve Lillywhite e novas foram compostas. Amy comentou à SPIN que a forma unida com a qual a banda trabalhou foi o que fez o álbum ser auto-intitulado. “Nunca me senti tão apoiada pelos membros da banda; nós realmente confiamos uns nos outros. E o fato de todos serem parte desse álbum, de construí-lo desde a sua base, é uma coisa totalmente nova para nós. Ninguém veio, por exemplo, só para tocar guitarra. Todos investiram nisso. Somos uma banda hoje mais do que nunca”.
