Ben has released songs on both The Punisher and Fantastic Four soundtracks (the former also features fellow Evanescence co-founder, Amy Lee performing with Seether).
On Tuesday December 16, 2008 he released his Mutiny Bootleg EP, which came free with a copy of Hana Pestle's EP that night. Moody is quoted as saying "there’s a duet between Hana and I on there that won't be on the record and won’t be released anywhere ever again. It’s free because I want this sh*t spread everywhere, so be sure that all your friends share the four songs with as many people as possible!" The EP is therefore available for free download from http://drop.io/benmoodymutinybootlegep.
His debut solo album, All For This, featuring Hana Pestle on backing vocals, has been in the works since 2005 and was released June 9, 2009 on iTunes, Amazon MP3 and Amie Street via his own record label. The physical release is forthcoming.
We Are The Fallen, featuring Ben Moody, John LeCompt and Rocky Gray (all formerly of Evanescence), along with Carly Smithson and Marty O'Brien, debuted on June 22, 2009 with the song "Bury Me Alive."

Always Do
Ben Moody Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You but call my name
I tear the skin and bleed from a vein
She's just not the same
And I know you'll carry me away with you
But I know I'll carry you
I always do
Give in, you win
You always do
I'd give this ransom to feel
As flesh and bone
A sense of sex in a sin
As cold as stone
And I know you'll carry me away with you
But I know I'll carry you
Give in, give in
I always do
Give in, you win
You always do
And I know you'll carry me away with you
But I know I'll carry you
Give in, give in
I always do
give in, you win
you always do
Give in, give in
I always do
Give in, you win
You always do
In "Always Do" by Ben Moody, the lyrics speak about a relationship that is falling apart. The singer feels the world is falling between them and seeks comfort from their partner, but they are left feeling empty and disconnected. The line "She's just not the same" implies that there has been a change in the relationship, possibly due to a lack of communication or emotional distance between the two.
The chorus of the song, "Give in, give in, I always do, Give in, you win, you always do," suggests a power dynamic where one partner consistently gives in to the other. The singer is aware of this dynamic, but continues to give in despite feeling powerless. The desire for physical connection is also touched upon in the verse, with the singer expressing a longing to feel "a sense of sex in a sin as cold as stone."
Overall, the lyrics in "Always Do" explore themes of a failing relationship, power dynamics, and longing for physical and emotional connection. The use of vivid imagery and emotive language helps to convey the complex emotions of the singer.

World's falling between us
Our relationship is falling apart
You but call my name
You are the only one I want
I tear the skin and bleed from a vein
I am hurting deeply because I want to be with you
She's just not the same
I used to love someone else, but now I only want you
And I know you'll carry me away with you
You will take me away from my pain and problems
But I know I'll carry you
I will always do everything to support and protect you
Give in, give in
I always surrender to my love for you
I always do
I cannot help but give in to you
Give in, you win
When I give in to you, you always win
I'd give this ransom to feel
I would do anything to feel
As flesh and bone
Like a real person with deep emotions
A sense of sex in a sin
The feeling of forbidden pleasure
As cold as stone
Without any emotions or feelings
And I know you'll carry me away with you
You will save me from my pain and problems
Give in, give in
I always give in to our love
I always do
I am powerless to resist
Give in, you win
When I give in to you, you always win
Give in, give in
I always surrender to our love
Give in, you win
When I give in to you, you always win
