Lyrics
And then it was quiet
Reflecting on a moment of silence or calmness.
Nobody awake to even make a sound
Not a soul is awake, absolute quietness.
You've always been this private
Describing a tendency to keep personal matters private.
There's no point to have any friends around
Questioning the value of having friends around.
Everyday feels like the last
Every day feels monotonous and uneventful.
You wish you could get all your time back
Regretting the inability to reclaim lost time.
I know it's difficult feeling like that
Acknowledging the difficulty of feeling a certain way.
So there's only one other option
Suggesting there's only one viable option.
Let your stress eat you alive
Encouraging the embrace of stress and its effects.
Find just a little piece of a mind
Advocating for finding a small piece of peace of mind.
Wait till I'm asleep

Pack your things and leave

Cause you're a midnight runner

Expressing impatience and a strong desire to leave.
You really don't wanna be here anymore
Affirming the decision to not want to be present anymore.
And that's okay

Don't let them think that you're insane
Cautioning against others thinking one is mentally unstable.
You know what you want
Being confident in knowing personal desires.
And you know where it is

You said your goodbyes
Having said farewells to everyone.
Crossed them all off of the list
Completing a checklist of goodbyes.
Just know that I'll remember you
Assuring the person departing will be remembered.
And every little thing you do
Acknowledging and appreciating the departing person's actions.
Let your stress eat you alive
