"Use My Voice" lyrics

"Use My Voice"

Cover my ears and close my eyes
Just long enough to stop the noise
Go on take everything and throw it away
But I will use my voice

Drown every truth in an ocean of lies
Label me bitch because I dare to draw my own line
Burn every bridge and build a wall in my way
But I will use my voice

Whether you like it or not, you're gonna take what I got
If we can't talk about it, we'll just keep drowning in it
Give me credit or not, I give a lot, give a lot
But don't you speak for me
No, don't you speak for me

Never mind me, I'm a waste of your time
I'm never gonna fit in the box that you need and I can read between the lines, yeah
Gather your friends and wave your gun in my face
But I will use my voice

Whether you like it or not, you're gonna take what I got
If we can't talk about it, we'll just keep drowning in it
Give me credit or not, I give a lot, give a lot
But don't you speak for me
No, don't you speak for me

Whether you like it or not
Whether you like it or not
Whether you like it or not
Whether you like it or not

One day soon
It's gonna fall back on you
No more lies
We're gonna break right through
Like it or not

If we can't talk about it, we'll just keep drowning in it
Give me credit or not, I give a lot, give a lot
But don't you speak for me
No, don't you speak for me
Don't you speak for me

"Use My Voice" is the third single from Evanescence's album, "The Bitter Truth".
To record this song, several female guest vocalists were invited, such as Lzzy Hale (Halestorm), Sharon den Adel (Within Temptation), Taylor Momsen (The Pretty Reckless), Lindsey Stirling, and Deena Jakoub (Veridia). Evanescence explained, "One of the most exciting parts of making our new song was getting a little help from our friends. A very special thank you to all the incredible women who lent their voices to create the tidal wave of girl power on 'Use My Voice'." All of them could be seen in a short teaser video posted by the band on Twitter on the 11th of August 2020.
