General Information
Written by: A. Lee, T. McCord, T. McLawhorn, W. Hunt and W. B. Hunt
Feeding the Dark is the fifth track from Evanescence's fifth studio album, The Bitter Truth. The piano featured on the bridge is the same Amy played in the clip the band posted on their Instagram stories on September 30, 2020. The song was originally worked on the Lillywhite sessions for Evanescence in 2010, but scrapped at their former label's behest along with the material recorded that year. A decade later, it was chosen to be reworked for The Bitter Truth.
Amy talked about the song and the other two Evanescence outtakes that made it to The Bitter Truth in an interview with a Argentinian journal:
|
Songs like "Yeah Right", "Feeding the Dark" and "Take Cover", we started working on while we were writing for the Evanescence album, but for some reason we didn't finish them, we didn't feel like they were ready. I would never have said this then because it broke my heart to have left them out of that album, but now I see that they had to wait because we wouldn't have been able to record them in this way at that time. This is something new. Those songs needed the band of the future to sound so good, they are heavier, I like them a lot.[1] | 
|
The lyrics on the chorus are incorrect on the booklet, being listed as "Oh, you can't hide", whereas they are listed as they are sung on the album's handwritten journal included on the deluxe box set.
Feeding the Dark made its live debut in Athens, Greece on June 5, 2022.

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 (You can't hide)
And you know that you can't lie (You can't lie)
'Cause we know all your secrets (Know all your secrets)
And I won't let you forget
