Anywhere But Here
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's no need for distance
No need for touch
No need for answers 'cause I've heard enough
I've 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 always 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 evergreen
The future of happiness and certainty
You're loved and you're lost there for now and eternity
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
