Amy Lee - Aftermath Album Lyrics

Is this a dream
I feel the earth beneath my feet
(Can I play the hunter)
The hunter is my name
Yes I am the hunter

(Push the button)
(Push the button)
(Push the button)
Push the button

We force it down
Put on a play to hide our shame
(Can I play the hunter)
No wonder we're in chains
Time to feed the hunger

(Push the button)
(Push the button)

(Push it, push it, push it...)

(Push the button)
(Push the button)
(Push the button)
(Push the button)
(Push the button)
(Push it, push it, push it...)
(Push the button)
(Push the button)
Push the button

(feat. Malika Zarra)

[Amy Lee wrote the following lyrics and then asked Malika Zarra to roughly translate it into her native Moroccan Arabic for the song]

I thought I heard your footsteps
coming up the stairs,
But it was only my heart,
pounding in my ears

I thought I saw your light
flicker in the window
But it was only my eyes
reflecting my despair

And alone I will wander
through the dark dark water
Until I collect every shattered
piece of my broken heart
And wait for a reason to start again

[Instrumental]

(feat. Dave Eggar)

Can't stop what's coming
Can't stop what's coming over me
I can't stop what's coming

I dream of falling into you
like sleep
Not to feel, just sleep

[Instrumental]

(feat. Dave Eggar)

I can feel you calling me
I can see the cracks between these walls
But this pain
I choke on the words as they rise in me
To survive, I lock down
(Lock down, lock down, lock down...)

I can feel you calling me
I can taste the poison in your heart
But these dreams
Blurring the line between war and peace
To survive, I lock down
(Lock down, lock down, lock down...)
Lock down

Say the words
I can't face the world
If I could say the words
Everything would be broken still
We are broken

I can feel you calling me
I can see the cracks between these walls
But this pain
I choke on the words as they rise in me
To survive, I lock down
(Lock down, lock down, lock down...)

Say the words
I can't face the world
If I could say the words
Everything would be broken still
And I know why
(I lock down, lock down, lock down...)
Lock down
(Lock down, lock down, lock down...)
(I lock down, lock down, lock down...)

[Instrumental]
