I Could

I could kill myself
I could kill myself
And not go on tomorrow
I could kill myself 
I could kill myself
And not worry about tomorrow
And the days of the week
Ahead

I could die right now
And fade away
And wouldn't it be easier
Wouldn't it be safer
I could sleep at night
Tonight
And dream forever 

I could close this book
And shut eyes tight
Lose my mind
Let the light go
Sink into snow
And let the river flow

I could die right now
The roof could fall
Brought down by the weight of the world
And bury me in it 
Destroyed in the rubble
Lost and alone
But no longer prone
To acts of masochistic
Lies and ties

I could die right now
And fade away
And wouldn't it be easier
Wouldn't it be safer
I could sleep at night
Tonight
And dream forever 
If only
I wanted
To die here

I could die right now
But what good would that do
