“Haunted” is the fifth track off of Evanescence’s debut album, Fallen.
The song’s lyrics are based off of a short story guitarist Ben Moody had written about an 8-year-old girl who gets trapped in a house after her ball bounces inside and is kept alive through another occupant of the house.
10 yea...
[Verse 1]
Long lost words whisper slowly to me
Still can't find what keeps me here (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
When all this time I've been so hollow inside
[Interlude]
(I know you're still there)
[Chorus]
Watching me
Wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Fearing you
Loving you
I won't let you pull me down
[Post-Chorus]
Ah-ah
[Verse 2]
Hunting you
I can smell you alive (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Your heart pounding in my head
[Chorus]
Watching me
Wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Saving me
Raping me
Watching me
[Bridge]
(Ah-ah)
(Ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah)
(Ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
[Chorus]
Watching me (Oh-oh-oh)
Wanting me (Oh-oh-oh)
I can feel you pull me down (Feel you pull me down)
Fearing you (Oh-oh-oh)
Loving you (Oh-oh-oh)
I won't let you pull me down
