''Written by [[A. Lee]] and [[T. Balsamo]]''

Amy's description of the song:
<blockquote>"Terry uses a lot of delay and noises. His guitar playing is really creepy! He also uses a lot of half-step two chords, which I love. I felt like I wasn't really allowed to use stuff like that before, because Ben didn't like it. But songs like "Lose Control" go from C to a C sharp, back and forth. I love those. It's that Portishead influence." <ref>C. Bottomley. [http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1540914/story.jhtml Evanescence: Amy Lee Explains the New Songs] - VH1.com</ref></blockquote>

== Lyrics ==
You don't remember my name 
I don't really care 
Can we play the game your way? 
Can I really lose control? 
 
Just once in my life 
I think it'd be nice 
Just to lose control, just once 
''[With all the pretty flowers]'' in the dust 
 
Mary had a lamb 
His eyes black as coals 
If we play very quiet, my lamb 
Mary never has to know 
 
Just once in my life 
I think it'd be nice 
Just to lose control, just once 
 
If I cut you down to a thing I can use 
I fear there'd be nothing good left of you 
 
''Just to lose control, just once''

Terry Balsamo

[[Image:Terry20.jpg|thumb|right|170px|Terry Balsamo]]
'''Terry Balsamo''' (born October 9, 1973, in Jacksonville, Florida) can most prominantly be seen and heard in the band's [[Anywhere But Home]] (2004) Live CD/DVD and now on the band's new album [[The Open Door]] (2006). His style and sound have most definately made an impact on the band, and with astounding results. He has become [[Amy Lynn Lee |Amy Lee]]'s main collaborator for Evanescence and co-wrote most of Evanescence's new album including the album's first single, [[Call Me When You're Sober]].

Terry made his start in the music world as an early member of the now infamous Limp Bizkit. He left a few years before the recording of Bizkit's now classic album 3 Dollar Bill Y'All (1997), being replaced by Wes Borland. In late 1999, Terry joined up with fellow Jacksonville rockers; Scooter Ward, Sam McCandless, Jeremy Marshall and Kelly Hayes. Otherwise known as the monsters of Alternative Metal, [[Cold]].

Terry remained with Cold writing and recording with them for their epic yet underrated albums 13 Ways to Bleed on Stage (2000) and Year of the Spider (2003). Near the end of his stint with Cold, the band had joined Evanescence as an opening act on the 2003 Nintendo Fusion Tour. This was of course before the abrupt departure of Evanescence's guitarist, Ben Moody. Terry had filled in for Moody on stage with Evanescence after Moody left during Evanescence's European tour, and when Cold's future suddenly became questionable, Terry jumped ship signing on permanently with Evanescence.

In November 2005, Terry suffered a stroke from a torn neck artery which landed him in the hospital for an unspecified amount of time. Indeed, Headbanging was the cause of the stroke. ''"They had to do an MRI. When they did the MRI, the doctor came back in the room and he was like, 'Have you ever had any neck injuries like from a car accident or anything?' And I was like, 'No.' Then we were like, 'Other than banging his head all day and every night for an hour and a half.' I’ve always had weird thing in my neck doing that, but I never would have thought it would have given me a stroke."'' ([http://ultimate-guitar.com/interviews/interviews/evanescence_guitarist_filling_ben_moodys_shoes.html 1]) In november, he had claimed to have recovered "a good 50%" from the stroke, getting better every day. He is now touring with the band full time.

As of May 4, 2007, Terry Balsamo is no longer a member of Evanescence. He has reportedly said that Amy Lee simply called and fired him. There has not been any confirmation of this as of yet.

''"I use Ibanez guitars. In the studio, I kind of use a similar setup to what I used on the last Cold record I did, which is mix up the amps and combine the sound together. It’s a Diezel and a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier and mixed that for one side. Then I took a Bogner and a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier on the other side. I combined it and made one big wall of metal.''

== Lyrics ==

===Fallen Version===
''Aaah'' 
''Paper flowers'' 
''Aaah'' 
''Paper flowers'' 
 
I linger in the doorway 
Of alarm clock screaming monsters 
Calling my name 
Let me stay 
Where the wind will whisper to me 
Where the raindrops as they’re falling tell a story 
 
In my field of paper flowers 
And candy clouds of lullaby 
I lie inside myself for hours 
And watch my purple sky fly over me 
 
Don’t say I’m out of touch 
With this rampant chaos - your reality 
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge 
The nightmare I built my own world to escape 
 
In my field of paper flowers 
And candy clouds of lullaby 
I lie inside myself for hours 
And watch my purple sky fly over me 
 
Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming 
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights 
Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming 
The goddess of imaginary light 
 
In my field of paper flowers 
And candy clouds of lullaby 
I lie inside myself for hours 
And watch my purple sky fly over me 
 
''Aaah'' 
''Paper flowers'' 
''Aaah'' 
''Paper flowers'' 
 
 
===Origin Version===
Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming 
Cannot cease for the fear 
Of silent nights 
Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming 
The goddess of imaginary light 
 
In my field of paper flowers 
And candy clouds of lullaby 
I lie inside myself for hours 
And watch my purple sky fly over me 
 
I linger in the doorway 
Of alarm clock screaming monsters 
Calling my name 
Let me stay 
Where the wind will whisper to me 
Where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story 
 
In my field of paper flowers 
And candy clouds of lullaby 
I lie inside myself for hours 
And watch my purple sky fly over me 
 
If you need to leave the world you live in 
Lay your head down and stay a while 
Though you may not remember dreaming 
Something waits for you to breathe again 
 
In my field of paper flowers 
And candy clouds of lullaby 
I lie inside myself for hours 
And watch my purple sky fly over me 
 
 
===EP Version===
''This version starts with acoustic guitar only. It is slower tempo than other versions.'' 
 
Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming 
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights 
Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming 
The goddess of imaginary light 
 
In my field of paper flowers 
And candy cloulds of lullabies 
I lie inside myself for hours 
And watch my purple sky fly over me 
 
I linger in the doorway 
Of alarm clocks screaming monsters 
Calling my name 
Let me stay 
Where the wind will whisper to me 
Where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story 
 
If you need to leave the world you live in 
Lay your head down and stay a while (flowers) 
Though you may not remember dreaming 
Something waits for you to breathe again (flowers)

''This version starts with the full band.''

You can lead the world you live in to suicide

'''Give Unto Me - Evanescence EP Outtake''' 
 
I've been watching you from a distance 
The distance sees through your disguise 
All I want from you is your hurting 
I want to heal you 
I want to save you from the dark 
 
Give unto me your troubles 
I'll endure your suffering 
Place onto me your burden 
I'll drink your deadly poison 
 
Why should I care if they hurt you 
Somehow it matters more to me 
Than if I were hurting myself 
Save you (save you) 
I'll save you 
 
''(Fear not the flame of my love's candle)'' 
Give unto me your troubles 
''(Fear not the flame of my love's candle)'' 
I'll endure your suffering 
''(Let it be the sun in your world of darkness)'' 
Place onto me your burden 
''(Give unto me all that frightens you)'' 
I'll drink your deadly poison 
''(I'll have your nightmares for you if you sleep soundly)'' 
 
Give unto me your troubles 
''(Fear not the flame of my love's candle)'' 
I'll endure your suffering 
''(Let it be the sun in your world of darkness)'' 
Place onto me your burden 
''(Give unto me all that frightens you)'' 
I'll drink your deadly poison

The distance sees through your disguise 
All I want from you is your hurting 
I want to heal you 
I want to save you from the dark 
 
Give unto me your troubles 
I'll endure your suffering 
Place onto me your burden 
I'll drink your deadly poison 
 
Why should I care if they hurt you 
Somehow it matters more to me 
Than if I were hurting myself 
Save you (save you) 
I'll save you 
 
''(Fear not the flame of my love's candle)'' 
Give unto me your troubles 
''(Fear not the flame of my love's candle)'' 
I'll endure your suffering 
''(Let it be the sun in your world of darkness)'' 
Place onto me your burden 
''(Give unto me all that frightens you)'' 
I'll drink your deadly poison 
''(I'll have your nightmares for you if you sleep soundly)'' 
 
Give unto me your troubles 
''(Fear not the flame of my love's candle)'' 
I'll endure your suffering 
''(Let it be the sun in your world of darkness)'' 
Place onto me your burden 
''(Give unto me all that frightens you)'' 
I'll drink your deadly poison 
''(I'll have your nightmares for you if you sleep soundly)'' 
 
Fear not the flame of my love's candle 
Let it be the sun in your world of darkness
