drift away

[ready2c0meh0me]

if only i could drift away,
maybe it would all feel better.

i see so much sadness and hate.
loved ones crying or in a fight.
i wish i could just turn away
or gouge my eyes to kill my sight.

if only i could drift away,
and darkness was all i could see.

i hear so much anger and rage.
cussing, screaming... destructive sounds.
famil'ar voices turned against,
not just my heart, but my soul pounds.

if only i could drift away,
and silence was all i could hear.

i feel depression and sorrow.
disagreements and unsure hearts.
my love tears at me deep inside.
my happiness is ripped apart.

if only i could drift away,
and emptiness, all i could feel.

"for I will turn their mourns to joy,
and make them rejoice, not sorrow."
my Father always comforts me
and brings great joy for me to know.

if only i could drift away,
to see pearly gates to my home.
