Whisper (I Can Stop The Pain If I Will It All Away)

Finally, wedding day came. I had recently discovered the band Evanescence and had gotten the cd Fallen. At the time, it was just the sound of the music that comforted me. It was the only thing powerful enough to let out what I didn't know how to say. I can't describe my thoughts or feelings of that day any better than Amy Lee did:

Catch me as I fall

Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself

This truth drives me

Into madness
I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away

(If I will it all away)

Don't turn away(Don't give into the pain)
Don't try to hide (Though they're screaming your name)

Don't close your eyes (God knows what lies behind them)

Don't turn out the lights (Never sleep never die)

I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know that there's much more to come

Immobilized by my fear

And seem to be blinded by tears

I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away
(If I will it all away)

Don't turn away (Don't give into the pain)
Don't try to hide (Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes (God knows what lies behind them)

Don't turn out the lights (Never sleep never die)

Fallen angels at my feet

Whispered voices at my ear

Death before my eyes

Lying next to me I fear

She beckons me

Shall I give in

Upon my end shall I begin

Forsaking all I've fallen for

I rise to meet the end

Don't turn away (Don't give into the pain)
Don't try to hide (Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes (God knows what lies behind them)

Don't turn out the lights (Never sleep never die)
