General Information
Written by: B. Moody and Marty O'Brien[1]
10.22 is a song by ex-Evanescence member and co-founder Ben Moody that was released as the fourth track on his debut solo album, All for This (2009). The 2003 version was released on his second album, You Can't Regret What You Don't Remember, originally slated for release in late 2005 as his debut album.[2] A music video for the latter was released on February 27, 2012.[3]
The song is named after the day he left Evanescence, that is, October 22, 2003. Moody said:
“The funny thing is when I wrote it, I thought I was talking to Amy: ‘Tell me again your fucked-up excuses'. But I realized, as I was listening to it three weeks ago, that it’s not about her at all. It’s talking to myself, calling out my own bullshit.”[4]
From an interview with MTV:[5]

MTV: Does your upcoming solo record, Can't Regret What You Don't Remember, deal with Evanescence at all?
Moody: Actually, there was one song, called "10/22," that when I wrote it, I thought it was about Amy. Then about three weeks ago, I realized it wasn't about Amy at all — it was about me, and I was projecting feelings I had about myself the day I left onto her. So that song was about the night I left the band. It's going to sound like I'm bitching about [her] but it's not. It's 100 percent focused on myself. |

Lyrics
What a tragic affection to harbour
A soul is seeking salvation to squander
Such a beautiful burden to bear alone
I know...
Rants and fictions of violence
Breaking the silence
Hiding the wake of our deception
Guarding desperate secrets buried below
And you know...
Tell me again your fucked up excuses
Dying fighting a life of abuse
When fame is your game
You say I'm to blame
But you know, but you know...
This moment carries my last hesitation
Seducing anger to haste my separation
This solemn piece of a guilty net it grows, so cold
Your every breath now strengthens my affliction
My tears have faded, all hope of your conviction
You were never the martyr you pretended to be
And you know...
Tell me again your fucked up excuses
Dying fighting a life of abuse
When fame is your game
You say I'm to blame
But you know, but you know...
Tell me again your fuckless excuses
Holding on at the end of the noose
When fame is your game
You say I'm to blame
But you know, but you know...
How they love you now
Tear drops rain down
Nobody cares, nobody cares
Tell me again your fucked up excuses
Dying fighting a life of abuse
When fame is your game
You say I'm to blame
But you know, but you know...
You know...
How they love you now...
You know...
Tear drops rain down...
You know...
How they love you now...
