LEE'S DARK LYRICS LEFT HER MUM CONSIDERING COUNSELING
EVANESCENCE star AMY LEE's mother was so worried about the dark lyrics her daughter penned when she first started songwriting, she suggested the teen try counseling.

The goth-rock queen admits her early attempts at poetry and lyrics were sinister and must have terrified her poor mother.
She explains, "She heard me writing music in my room when I was a teenager. She was like, 'What are you singing?' and I read her some lyrics.
"She said, 'I wonder if you need to talk to somebody."
Lee reveals her moody temperament and that chat with her mother left her feeling she should self-medicate herself.
The FALLEN singer says, "I thought about taking antidepressants, but I think that takes your soul away."
But Lee now realises her early angst was a reaction to the death of her three-year-old sister when she was six.
She adds, "I was getting a perspective that most people don't get until they're adults. I started writing dramatic poetry when I was 10 - it's all about eternity and loneliness."
