Goodnight
B.E.N.N.Y. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm on the path to happiness
I know I'll reach it at the end
But on this path to happiness
I've lost some time
I've lost some friends
Can I fill up this emptiness
Replace what's lost along the way
Hey
So many thoughts are crowding my head
And I just really want to go to bed
All this restlessness feeds on the fear in my heart
But if I tried to dissect it all I'd just fall apart
I'm not sure who I am
I don't know what I want
It used to be love, but that's still not enough
I think something inside tore apart long ago
Disconnected and electric I got caught in the flow
Someday I will be fine, if I just give it time
But I'll go crazy if I can't quiet my mind
So good night
I don't know when I lost myself
And life became a blurry haze
The sudden noise it blocked out my voice
Closed up my throat and I could barely breathe
Can I shut out this anxiety
The fear I'll fail myself again again again
So many thoughts are crowding my head
And I just really want to go to bed
Good night sleep tight sleep well sweet dreams
In the sunlight
Maybe things won't look as bad as they seem
All this restlessness feeds on the fear in my heart
But if I tried to dissect it all I'd just fall apart
I'm not sure who I am, I don't know what I want
It used to be love, but that's still not enough
I think something inside tore apart long ago
Disconnected and electric I got caught in the flow
Someday I will be fine, if I just give it time
But I'll go crazy if I can't quiet my mind
So good night
Good night
Why do the days all feel the same
Like the sun has burned out and my soul's gone away and my heart's been cut open and drained
Tell me why
Can't I float along like you
I'm still chasing the hope that the world's not a mess
Even though I know that's not the truth
But this restlessness feeds on the fear in my heart
And this fearfulness feeds on the pain that I've known
Even as the years pass, I just can't let it all go
I destroyed who I was and I hoarded my love
So tired of feeling like I'm not enough.
Maybe if I just dance
Maybe if I just write
Maybe if I just sing
Then I'd feel something inside
Someday I will be fine, if I just give it time
For now I just want to quiet my mind
So
Good night




Sleep tight
Until sunlight
