"Goodnight Moon" lyrics
"Goodnight Moon"
My mother wears rosy glasses
Goes to church, prays to Jesus till she passes out
By the road of her house is my dad
In his heart lives a poet, a sad face
Clowns never made my brother smile
He's a devil dog, runnin' strong, never tired
I am my brother's brother
Redundant wonder
Misunderstanding how we all stand under
The same old sun
Yeah we love no one but ourselves
Even that just goes to hell
Well, well said the sun to the moon by the stars
How far can they run before it all falls apart?
I don't know
I am just your reflection
But I know they will hope, they will dream
Oh, when they see me lighting up the night
I'm fighting with the tide
Waving them goodnight
They'll soon wake up to your sunlight
Checking that the time's right
Time's right, oh
You'll heal these holes
And fill this rut
Of holy ghost
And broken nose
I just wanna shout out loud
Your name in this crowd
And if you hear somehow
Won't you turn around
'Cause in your eyes
I see my soul
Yes, I see my soul
My God, my soul
In your eyes
I see my soul
Yes, I see my soul
My God, my soul
Don't be so set in your ways said the moon back to the sun
They will learn, they will change, they are only human
Don't you know
They are just our reflections
But I know they will hope, they will dream
Oh, when they see me lighting up the night
I'm fighting with the tide
Waving them goodnight
So goodnight moon, morning sun
Evening stars and little ones
Learn to hope, sleep to dream
Find love in everything
'Cause in my mom and my dad
Oh my brother too
I love for them
And I sing for you

Looks can be deceiving everyone
Has curated their life
Makes you feel like you're not living right
And you might be alright with that
But I can't waste my time like that...

Cold War Kids - "Who's Gonna Love Me Now" All those times when I imagined
What it'd be like to have my freedom
Not be so uptight, live my best life
Oh what a fool I was only dreamin'

I wonder who's gonna love me...
Bad Suns - "Unstable" All the streets were silent
In the still of the night
When I first decided
I could not take a life

You could've been worse off
