New Way To Bleed

“Serve your twisted enemy
So you might earn forgiveness.
You know your whole world is waiting,
So why can’t you speak?

So go and tell all your friends
That I’m a failure underneath,
If it makes you feel like a bigger man.
But it’s my, my heart, my life
That you’re calling a lie.
I’ve played this game before
And I can’t take anymore.

I feel it coming over me,
I’m still a slave to these dreams.
Is this the end of everything,
Or just a new way to bleed?

I’m drifting far beyond the Earth.
Freedom, freedom,
Can’t you feel the ground caving in?
Freedom, give us a reason to believe again.”

I don’t think I’ve submitted so many Evanescence-related photos since sometime around 2007; but well, despite the fact that there are few songs from the new album I really like, the inspiration they give me is quite intense.
Also, I don’t think I’ve ever submitted such a bloody and gruesome photoshoot: four out of six photos include blood, even quite a lot like in this case. Lately I have a lot of bloody ideas, I think it’s time to let them out.
On a side note, I didn’t touch a single thing either in Giulia’s eyes or hair. And I love the way the wind moved the latter.
