Broken (featuring Amy Lee)

Seether · The Punisher, The Album [2004]

{Seether}

I wanted you to know that I love the way you laugh

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away

I keep your photograph and I know it serves me well

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain...



{Both}

Because I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel right when you're gone away.



{Seether}

You've gone away

You don't feel me here

Anymore.



{Amy Lee}

The worst is over now

And we can breathe again

I wanna hold you high and steal my pain away {Both - the word "away"}

There's so much left to learn

And no one left to fight {Both - line}

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain...



{Both}

'Cause I'm broken when I'm open

And I don't feel like I am strong enough

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel right when you're gone away...



[Instrumental]



'Cause I'm broken when I'm open

And I don't feel like I am strong enough

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel right when you're gone away...



[Instrumental]



'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel right when you're gone away... {Just Seether - "away"}



{Seether}

You're gone away

You don't feel me here

Anymore.

Broken (featuring Amy Lee)

This track by Seether, featuring Amy Lee of the band Hole, serves as a standout moment on The Punisher, The Album. Released in 2004, the recording blends the band's signature heavy metal sound with Lee's distinctive gothic rock vocals, creating a unique fusion within the nu-metal genre. The collaboration marked a significant shift in the song's emotional tone compared to their earlier work, offering a more melodic and introspective approach while maintaining the band's characteristic intensity. It remains a notable example of the era's cross-genre experimentation and highlights the dynamic between Seether's rhythm section and Lee's powerful vocal delivery.
