General Information

Written by: A. Lee, B. Moody and D. Hodges

Sometimes incorrectly known as "Further Away". Recorded as a demo in 2001-2002 and later made into a B-side on the "Bring Me to Life" single. Performed live regularly during the many legs of the Fallen Tour.

When performed live, back in 2003, Ben Moody would hand his guitar over to a stage hand close to the end of the song and go into a tribal drum solo. This can be seen in the Live in Cologne performance.

"Farther Away" is one of the songs that missed the cut on Fallen.[1]

Lyrics

Fallen outtake

I took their smiles and I made them mine
I sold my soul just to hide the light
And now I see what I really am
A thief, a whore, and a liar

I run to you
And run away from this town
Call out your name
Giving up, giving in
I see you there
Still you are
Farther away

I’m numb to you
Numb and deaf and blind
You give me all but the reason why
I reach but I feel only air at night
Not you, not love, just nothing

I run to you
And run away from this town
Call out your name
Giving up, giving in
I see you there
Still you are
Farther away

Tried to forget you
But without you
I feel nothing

Don’t leave me here
By myself
I can't breathe

I run to you
And run away from this town
Call out your name
Giving up, giving in
I see you there
Still you are
Farther away

I run to you
And run away from this town
Call out your name
Giving up, giving in
I see you there
Still you are
Farther away

Farther away
Farther away
Farther away
Farther away
Farther away

Demo version

I took their smiles and I made them mine
I sold my soul just to hide the light
And now I see what I really am
A thief, a whore, and a liar

I run to you
And run away from this hell
Call out your name
Giving up, giving in
I see you there
Still you are
Farther away

I’m numb to you
Numb and deaf and blind
You give me all but the reason why
I reach but I feel only air at night
Not you, not love, just nothing

I run to you
And run away from this hell
Call out your name
Giving up, giving in
I see you there
Still you are
Farther away

Don’t leave me here
By myself
I can't breathe

I run to you
And run away from this hell
Call out your name
Giving up, giving in
I see you there
Still you are
Farther away

I run to you
And run away from this hell
Call out your name
Giving up, giving in
I see you there
Still you are
Farther away

Farther away
Farther away
Farther away
Farther away
Farther away
