Evanescence - Haunted Lyrics (Demo 1)

Lyrics to the song Haunted by the american rock band, Evanescence.
From the Pre-Fallen Era demos.
Lyrics:
Long lost words whisper slowly to me
Still can't find what keeps me here
When all this time I've been so hollow inside
I know you're still there
Watching me, wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Fearing you, loving you
I know I’ll find you somehow
Hunting you I can smell you alive
Your heart pounding in my head
Calling me, killing me
I won’t let you pull me down
Saving me, raping me
Watching me
Watching me, wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Fearing you, loving you
I won't let you pull me down
Watching me, wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Fearing you, loving you
I won't let you pull me down
**I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING**

I love Ben Moody's story behind Haunted: A little girl around eight or nine in a little white Easter dress is walking down a neighborhood street bouncing a little red ball. As she approaches an obviously deserted large house with a sinister demeanor, her attention moves from the ball to the house. Not paying attention to her bouncing, the ball hits the curb and ricochets toward the house. As she chases the little red ball toward the house, the ball picks up unnatural momentum and bounces right into the huge gaping front door. The little girl pauses for a moment, looks up at the house, which now appears to be staring down at her, and cautiously enters the house in search of her little red ball. as she slowly walks into the atrium, she surveys the decaying mess that once was obviously a beautiful mansion. She becomes mesmerized by the exquisite detail of every inch of the banister winding up the seemingly endless staircase in front of her. Suddenly her thoughts are broken by a horrifying commotion. She whips around to run out the front door, but finds only a blank wall where the door once stood. Frightened, she runs down the first hallway she sees, trying desperately to find a way out, but with every turn the world behind her changes, bending to the will of the house, so that even finding a path back to the atrium where she began becomes impossible. Terrified, the little girl sinks into a corner, puts her head in her hands, and weeps. 10 years later.... The little girl wakes up in a panic, now a young woman. Dirty, scarred. She's now clothed in black pants, work boots, and a black wife beater. Her skin is pale and dirty. Sun has not graced her flesh in over a decade. She wakes to find a meal placed on a dirty silver tray before her, just enough to sustain life, just like every morning before. Placed there by a figure she can only see in passing, around a corner, walking through a door.... a figure that has become her only friend, and her only hate. Her entire existence has become nothing but to hunt and destroy this shadow that keeps her here. As she hunts him relentlessly day after day, she becomes lost in the dichotomy of her being. This thing that keeps her here, this person that repeatedly rapes her mind and watches her when she sleeps, has become her only friend. For if this person left, she would cease to exist. For she live only to kill him. But lives only FOR him. Every day the house changes around her, so that every day she wakes in a foreign land. The only constant... is him. She hears his heart beating, she smells him, she can only think of finding him, but he is also the only thing she knows of love.

I actually always felt this demo version fit the story more than the official released version, because that slamming always sounded to me like doors slamming, which I always felt fit with the whole house thing.

[@DaughterOfChrist1997]

this is the creepiest story I’ve ever read

[@DaughterOfChrist1997]

[@mridlon1634]

Why does it sound like the sub-plot to Stranger Things season 4?

[@davidarzola7341]

I love when she says: "Hunting you i can smell you alive, your heart pounding in my head" :')

[@MrAuditore96]

well that's definitely a truly exciting image to paint there, prolly referring to when excessive effort to do something leads you to feel your head pulsating with the same rhythm as your heart while the level of engagement in the whole 'haunting' process makes you feel that pulse resonate with everything around you, including that person's own rhythm. damn.

[@DetoCerqueira]

Why did they change the "I know I'll find you somehow" part?

[@zeak166]

Better version than the Fallen one! The start is more fitting with the song and creepy!

[@giuliana.cangrejo]

I think the "I know I'll find you somehow" part should have stayed on the fallen version, that way it wouldd have been perfect...

[@91Rapunzel]

I love this demo, I think it should have been the final version.

[@venemoussyrin5949]

for years I thought this was the only version lmao

[@2EXTREME2008]

holy shit same! im so glad i know the different versions now!

[@seinakimura4201]

I like this version better of the song, more of a spooky creepy tone to it

[@JackieTheVampire]

I thought it was going to the same lyrics and different tune, but when it came to the different lyrics, it sorta threw me off, because I was singing along.

[@superstarduck3823]

That's how demos are sometimes also I loved the beginning it was so pumpy to me

Not licenced?

[@InfinityZ808]

Because this is a leaked demo

[@RandaLeigh18]

I’ve always preferred this version over the Fallen version. I remember hearing this one when I was about 11 - 12 years old. It gives me chills and it’s so much more creepier🖤

[@DrewTruesdell]

Sorry to ask, everyone probably does, but what software do you use to make these lyrics videos?

[@Stenheart]

thanks for sharing the demo.its a great version! awesome!!!

[@Stenheart]

this song is one ofmy favourite songs and its awesome and kinda scary too

[@justinbowen1183]

It always makes me sad when big time record labels push artists to do stuff they really didnt want to. Art is not something you can force you have to let it flow naturally and telling an artist that "were doing this way because that's what in" is not the way to go. These sound much better because nobody was forcing her to record it a specific way she did it exactly how she wanted and it has so much more emotion behind it. The demo for paper flowers sounds incredible I don't give a crap about the sound quality there is always a sound engineer who can turn the knobs better no matter what. The demos are completely stripped down versions of the originals and sound sooo much better.

[@Planetx2001]

1 person just does not get the idea of this song.

[@caifabe8050]

Gonna cover the Fallen version of this with my band (if I can start one). I'll be on rhythm guitar and I'll add some epic screaming parts in the last chorus.

[@RNGJack1]

[@tassvigna9528]

I think taking the guitar solo off this song in the Fallen was a crime.

1:27 When did Squidward join Evanescence?

[@GeneralGengreet]

I was about to say the same thing!

[@Epitaph1334]

dat bass

[@DemonicRemption]

This was the first version of this song I heard back in high school, and made it the theme some of a character I created named "Midnight." It seemed to his personality, despite being similar to Sesshomaru a tad. Great now I feel old.

[@zackzaike4630]

is this just demo 3 version without the epic beginning?
