Song lyrics
It's true, we're all a little insane
But it's so clear
Now that I'm unchained

Fear is only in our minds
Taking over all the time
Fear is only in our minds
but it's taking over all the time

You poor sweet innocent thing
Dry your eyes and testify
You know you live to break me - don't deny
Sweet sacrifice

One day I'm gonna forget your name
And one sweet day
you're gonna drown in my lost pain

Fear is only in our minds
Taking over all the time
Fear is only in our minds
but it's taking over all the time

You poor sweet innocent thing
Dry your eyes and testify
And oh you love to hate me don't you, honey?
I'm your sacrifice.

[I dream in darkness
I sleep to die
Erase the silence
Erase my life
Our burning ashes
Blacken the day
A world of nothingness
Blow me away]

Do you wonder why you hate?
Are you still too weak to survive your mistakes?

You poor sweet innocent thing
Dry your eyes and testify
You know you live to break me - don't deny
Sweet sacrifice

Great song, that's really common for Evanescence, I too believe this is one of the best songs in The Open Door, along with Like You and Good Enough

I finally saw the video an yahoo, it's very interesting really, i mean the subliminally placed pictures of things that we (may) fear, very interesting concepts...

if they were subliminal, you wouldnt notice them.. theyre just quick..

the video sucks.. looking back, none of evanescence videos are excepcionally good.. but this is the worse one.. and lithium was the perfect song to make a good video..

the song is good though.. really good

I finally saw the video an yahoo, it's very interesting really, i mean the subliminally placed pictures of things that we (may) fear, very interesting concepts... i was fine with the bones and stuff until it reached the giant hissing cock roaches, then i freaked out a bit (i dont like bugs or spiders or anything else that has more than four legs) it truely seems to capture the line 'fear is only in our minds'... its much different than call me when you're sober or their earier, but still has that characteristic evanescence touch...

Well...I'm not entirely sure who is the sweet and innocent one since she's talking to the person who hurt her as well.

Anyhow, I like this song because it's one of the ones that she sounds like the narrator of the song is speaking from a stronger position rather than the position of a victim, though there's still that sense of having been hurt by something or someone.

The style was also a bit different from her usual sort of flow, but she carries it off wonderfully.

maybe it's because I haven;t really listened to the song wel enough, but this song is ok. I REALLY don't like how it just cuts off at the end. The Lyrics are great and AMy's vocals are awesome like always but to be, this isn't really the greatest song.

I like this song - i was a bit surprised she could do that high note lol. She should sing more in that style, though i imagine it would be hard for her to keep that up for a long time

Usually when bands bring out another album, its almost exactly the same as their last one so this was a nice surprise when they easily managed to write a completely different style of song that sounds so cool!
I love this song!
