Somewhere Else

The silent night is a comfort
It would make a peaceful death
Without anyone here noticing
I could be somewhere else instead

My heart has stopped its pounding
I'm cold and out of breath
But I keep wishing I could
Be somewhere else instead

I sit and wonder just how
How heaven would look tonight
If only I could get there
Then everything would be alright

Is anybody else noticing?
I'm taking slow painful breaths
Is it just me here suffering?
Or is someone else on this bet

I sometimes wish that they could
Wake up one day and find me dead
I'd be like a bad night dream but
It's lessons taught too late

Adding on to the pressure
As my sides begin to ache
I hear yelling upstairs
And it's getting too much to take

Finding comfort now
Would be like searching for a small stone
In a plastic bag full of dirt
How much harder can it get?

My mind is calming down slowly
All my thoughts pushed aside
I'm fluttering with the idea
Of ending this tonight

So lay me down barren
Close my eyes and watch me sleep
If everything would calm down now
I'd find my own way home

The silent night is a comfort
It would make a peaceful death
Without anyone here noticing
I could be somewhere else instead
