Evanescence

“I've been looking in the mirror for so long.That I've come to believe my souls on the other side.Oh the little pieces falling, shatter.Shards of me,To sharp to put back together.To small to matter,But big enough to cut me into so many little pieces.If I try to touch her,And I bleed,I bleed,And I breathe,I breathe no more. Take a breath and I try to draw from my spirits well.Yet again you refuse to drink like a stubborn child.Lie to me,Convince me that I've been sick forever.And all of this,Will make sense when I get better.I know the difference,Between myself and my reflection.I just can't help but to wonder,Which of us do you love.So I bleed,I bleed,And I breathe,I breathe now...Bleed,I bleed,And I breathe,I breathe,I breathe-I breathe no more.”

“Wanting me, watching me. I can feel you pull me down.”

“Perfect by nature, icons of self indulgence. Just what we need more lies about our world.”

“I think that our lyrics are definitely dark, but I know for a fact that we pull our inspiration from a million different influences. We listened to everything growing up. Our music isn't just 'opera metal' or 'gothic pop' it's just Evanescence.”

“When you go through tragedy, you can either let that destroy you and you become bitter and never let it go, or you can let it make you stronger and let it make you grow. And that's what I did. My lyrics are coming from a place that I want people to relate to and feel that they're not alone.”

“People told me I can't dress like a fairy. I say, I'm in a rock band and I cand do whatever the hell I want!”

“I like to use two basic elements for my clothing: rock... you know, metal and chains and stuff - mixed with fairies and drama and Victorian clothing - fantasy.”

“Inspiration comes in the middle of the night when you should be doing homework.”

“It's okay to laugh at me, I only look scary.”

“If people make fun of you, that probably means you're doing something right.”

“Don't be afraid of the shadows, that only means there's a light nearby.”

“Forget the place you're trying to get to and see the beauty in right now...”

“Nobody's perfect. I'm perfectly flawed.”

“I was like, 'Dude, make me look bad. Please. I want to look ugly. I want to wear orange pants.”

“It might not look it but rocking in a corset is harder than you think”

“I'm retarded and I'm on TV”

“I know how it feels to be completely alone and helpless, and the last thing you want to hear in that situation is, 'It's going to be OK.' "The only thing that seems to really help is that someone else who has felt that low expressing those feelings to you.”

“Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken...”

“If people make fun fun of you, you must be doing something right”
