Feeding The Dark (song)

"Feeding The Dark" Released March 26, 2021 Length 4:14 Producers Nick Raskulinecz Label BMG Chronology 'The Bitter Truth' "Yeah Right" "Feeding The Dark" "Wasted on You"

"Feeding The Dark" is the fifth track on Evanescence's fifth studio album, The Bitter Truth.

Background

The song was written by Amy Lee, Tim McCord, Troy McLawhorn, Will Hunt and Will B. Hunt. It was previewed on September 30, 2020 when the band shared an Instagram story of Amy recording the piano part of the song's bridge. Many fans found the melody very similar to the "another piece of the puzzle" piano piece that was previewed during the scrapped Lillywhite sessions for Evanescence.

Amy confirmed this song was originally written for the self-titled album, along with "Yeah Right" and "Take Cover". They were part of the original version of the album that was scrapped by their then label.

Lyrics

Follow me under Low as we are Swallow your hunger Feeding this dark Feeding this dark Do you remember What made the scar? And how deep will you cut? Seeking my heart Seeking my heart Well, you know that you can't hide And you know that you can't lie 'Cause I know all your secrets And I won't let you forget Follow me under (Follow me under) Low as we are (Follow me) Hate is the liar Feeding this dark Feeding this dark Well, you know that you can't hide And you know that you can't lie 'Cause I know all your secrets And I won't let you forget Don't look away Let the light pour down on our darkest day If we run from ourselves We will run forever Well, you know that you can't hide And you know that you can't lie 'Cause I know all your secrets And I won't let you forget
