Won't You Take Me Away From Me?

I am a fan of Evanescence and lead singer Amy Lee. I was listening to her songs on YouTube when I came across one that blew me away. From comments below the video, this song was never released and was recorded in 1999 when Amy still was a teenager.

Read the lyrics, but don't stop there. Please! Go the song and listen; the web address is below. It comes across as someone struggling to find a Higher Power to take the disease in her veins away. She has lost all faith in.... Well, see for yourself and think about your struggles with drinking and searching for a better you.

Away from Me

I hold my breath
as this life starts to take its toll.
I hide behind a smile
as this perfect plan unfolds.
But oh, God,
I feel I've been lied to:
Lost all faith in the things I have achieved.

And I,
I've woken now to find myself
in the shadows of all I have created.
I'm longing to be lost in you.

Won't you take me away from me?

Crawling through this world
as disease flows through my veins.
I look into myself,
but my own heart has been changed.
I can't go on like this.
I loathe all I've become.

I've woken now to find myself
in the shadows of all I have created.
I'm longing to be lost in you.

Won't you take me away from me?

Lost in a dying world
I reach for something more.
I have grown so weary of this lie I live.

I've woken now to find myself
in the shadows of all I have created.
I'm longing to be lost in you. I

I've woken now to find myself.
I'm lost in shadows of my own.
I'm longing to be lost in you...
away from me.
