about

"Good Enough" is about being less than so. We live in a society where we always feel like we have to strive to be the best and it often leads to judgement and disappointment. "Good Enough" is a tough, dry pill of realization that I'll never be what I dreamed I would be. I'm older now, past my prime, and that's all there is to it.

lyrics

I play until I bleed
My voice box ripping out of me
My graveyard of broken dreams
Drifts alone in the galaxy

But I'm older now, older now
And there's not much left to go around
I never found my sound

If no one ever hears me
Does it mean I never existed?

Silence

Silence in my eyes
Wonder why I'm less than good enough
Keeps me up at night screaming, "Why am I not good enough?"
All my memories grew up to be nobody
And it makes me feel
Like I'm never gonna be good enough

I do it all to please
But I come up short to satisfy
So much so that it seems
My soul moved on and kept the key

Its colder now, colder now
Cause I have no heat to keep me warm
Keep me from myself

The worst kind of pressure
Is always being measured

Silence

Silence in my eyes
Wonder why I'm less than good enough
Keeps me up at night screaming, "Why am I not good enough?"
All my memories grew up to be nobody
And it makes me feel
Like I'm never gonna be good enough

Never high enough
Never low enough
Now I'm not young enough
No longer have the stuff
I'm horrible at bluffing
Can't fake my making
The only thing I had mistaken
Is what I had for the taking
My skin is breaking
My bones are shaking
I'm just another poor boy
With dreams of smoke

Silence in my eyes
Wonder why I'm less than good enough
Keeps me up at night screaming, "Why am I not good enough?"
All my memories grew up to be nobody
And it makes me feel
Like I'm never gonna be good enough

Never gonna be good enough
Never gonna be good enough
Why am I not good enough
I just want to be
