anywhere but here

there's no need for distance

no need for touch

no need for answers 'cause i've heard enough

i just find a chair

some place out of reach

i enter the darkness and claim my release

and open my

open my heart

sing like a nightingale

open my

open my hands

when no one else understands

i just close my eyes

and count to ten

breathe in twice

and open them

know where to go cause i've been there before

in my mind it is near

i escape all i fear

so by closing my eyes

i am anywhere but here

there's no need for anger

religion or faith

one blade of grief

will alway remain

it's not on the paper

or a story book

it's a place to reunite with all that was took

and open my

open my heart

sing like a nightingale

open my

open my hands

when no one else understands

i just close my eyes

and count to ten

breathe in twice

and open them

know where to go cause i've been there before

in my mind it is near

i escape all i fear

so by closing my eyes

i am anywhere but here

picture a land where you never have been

where life is eternal and ever green

the future of happiness and certainty

you're loved and you're lost there for now and eternity

i close my eyes

and count to ten

breathe in twice

and open them

know where to go cause i've been there before

in my mind it is near

i escape all i fear

so by closing my eyes

i am anywhere but here
