All That I'm Living For

Once again, Evanescence puts words so eloquently on things that I'd struggle to even communicate.

Enjoy:



"All That I'm Living For"

All that I'm living for,
All that I'm dying for,
All that I can't ignore alone at night.

I can feel the night beginning.
Separate me from the living.
Understanding me,
After all I've seen.
Piecing every thought together,
Find the words to make me better.
If I only knew how to pull myself apart.

All that I'm living for,
All that I'm dying for,
All that I can't ignore alone at night.
All that I'm wanted for,
Although I wanted more.
Lock the last open door, my ghosts are gaining on me.

I believe that dreams are sacred.
Take my darkest fears and play them
Like a lullaby,
Like a reason why,
Like a play of my obsessions,
Make me understand the lesson,
So I'll find myself,
So I won't be lost again.

All that I'm living for,
All that I'm dying for,
All that I can't ignore alone at night.
All that I'm wanted for,
Although I wanted more.
Lock the last open door, my ghosts are gaining on me.

Guess I thought I'd have to change the world to make you see me,
To be the one.
I could have run forever,
But how far would I have come
Without mourning your love?

All that I'm living for,
All that I'm dying for,
All that I can't ignore alone at night.
All that I'm wanted for,
Although I wanted more.
Lock the last open door, my ghosts are gaining on me.

Should it hurt to love you?
Should I feel like I do?
Should I lock the last open door,
My ghosts are gaining on me.

  1. WHOA. I didn't even know they were still around! (I would say that's a shocker, but it's not, when compared to the fact that I just stalked my ex-boyfriend on Facebook and found out that he's married and has a baby. Sorry, this surprise is consuming my thoughts right now.)

  2. Oh yes, they still do exist! To be fair though, that one's from The Open Door which was released a while back...

    And whaaaaaaaaaaaat?? I don't blame you, dear. That is quite shocking!
