“Where Will You Go?” is the opening track on Evanescence’s first, self-titled EP.
This version is more of a confessional setting, whereas the one released on the band’s 2000 demo album, Origin, uses electronic sound effects and has a quicker tempo.
[Verse 1]
You're too important for anyone
There's something wrong with everything you see
But I, I know who you really are
You're the one who cries when you're alone
[Chorus 1]
Where will you go?
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape
You don't want to escape
[Verse 2]
However did you manage to push away
From every living thing you've come across?
So afraid that anyone will hate you
You pretend you hate them first
[Chorus 2]
But where will you go?
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape the truth
I realize you're afraid
But you can't refrain from everything
You can't escape
You can't escape
[Bridge]
I am so sick of speaking words that no one understands
Is it clear enough that you can't live your whole life all alone?
I can hear you when you whisper
But you can't even hear me screaming
[Chorus 2/Outro]
And where will you go?
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape the truth
I realize you're afraid
But you can't reject the whole world
You can't escape
You won't escape
You can't escape
You don't want to escape
