St. John - Lyrics - We Are The Fallen

We Are the Fallen is an American gothic metal band consisting of former American Idol contestant Carly Smithson, Marty O'Brien and former Evanescence members Ben Moody, John LeCompt, and Rocky Gray. The band's name is an allusion to Evanescence's 2003 album, Fallen, which has resulted in criticism for their similar style to Evanescence. In a Los Angeles Times interview, co-founder of Evanescence, Ben Moody, said that We Are the Fallen differs from Evanescence in that "everyone is equal" and that it has "more energy than Evanescence could ever muster." He also stated, "We cannot try to be who we are. If there is some similarity in sound, it's because that genre was created by us."

This night is alive with the smell of insane Its reaching for me and its calling my name I beg for silence to drown out their weep How did this asylum become where I sleep So ashamed of waking All my life you failed to keep me safe My whole world's forsaken Won't let you destroy my faith again All my Questions get no answers Locked up tight from the world outside me Mommy come get me out tonight All my Questions have no answers I can feel the fear inside me Mommy come get me out tonight So close I almost could taste my own grave My moment of selfishness caused by your pain Almost threw this life you gave me away In this institution for you now I pray So ashamed of waking All my life you failed to keep me safe My whole world's forsaken Won't let you destroy my faith again All my Questions get no answers Locked up tight from the world outside me Mommy come get me out tonight All my Questions have no answers I can feel the fear inside me Mommy come get me out tonight Forgive me With wings adorn me So I can fly All my Questions get no answers Locked up tight from the world outside me Mommy come get me out tonight All my Questions have no answers I can feel the fear inside me Mommy come get me out tonight Mommy come get me out tonight
