My name is Cayleigh, and I currently am a freshman. I absolutely love Evanescence (who here doesn't?
) and Amy Lee has inspired me to become a musician and and writer. A few of my songs can be found below. If anyone is interested, and comments, then I will post more. Thanks,
Cayleigh
PS: I apologize for any bad grammar ahead of time. And I will hopefully have some art or something else here later.Thank you.

Judgement
This particular song is dealing with the issue of rape. It's not graphic or anything, but if you pay close attention to the lyrics, that is what they are about. Enjoy!
v1: I’ve felt life’s elegance but not the way I wanted to
I’ve felt life’s pain
Another lie that lives on the surface of the truth
I’ve knelt at death’s knees
Begged and pleaded for him to spare my life
But then again, I’ve knocked on death’s door
And asked to be sacrificed
~my inner soul cries to be broken from these chains
My inner mind lies and tells me I am in no pain
But my inner life has already died
I’ve felt your warmth and it seems so close
But like it’s always been distant to me
I know the drum of your heartbeat
But I know all I hear echoes pounding the hollowness that lives in me
~
+fed are these fears that live in me
Gone is the hope I used to see
Dead is the grace God gave me
Longed for the way it used to be
~x2
Hurt
This song is about how someone leaves you (in any form) and you feel like you've lost a peice of yourself.
Please stop, don't turn away from me
You have no idea how much you're taking with you
But I know in all I promised I'm only seeing
your shadow
~give back my strength, lift from me this weight
I'm carrying I want my happiness back
I'll trade you anything just to stop the hurthing
give back my heart
pull me from my dark, please I'll give you anything
just to stop the hurting
don't give me medication
there is no cure for this disease
I want my salvation that hides
behind my eyes
~2 Give back my dreams so I can start beleiving in lies again
I want soul back, I'll trade you anything
just to stop the hurting
give back my life, pull me into the light
please I'll give you anything just to stop the hurting
I can't go on like this, I can't pretend your shadow
has taken place of you
I'm so tired of dreaming, deceiving myself
when I wake my imagination will collapse
all around me
I want to stay here
please don't wake me
please don't wake me
