I want to close my eyes,
Fall backwards,
And let the wind catch me,
Let me float away.

I want to close my eyes,
Lay down,
And let the rain pour on me,
Let me melt away,
Into nothing.

I want to close my eyes,
Hold my breath,
And let the smoke consume me,
Let me fade away,
Into nothing.

I want to become nothing,
No one would notice,
No one would care,
I just want to disappear,
Into nothing,
Into air.
