There’s something here in the water
Hear all the kooks outside
The end of the line forgotten folk screaming out on a desperate night
There’s something dark about this hotel
It just don’t feel right
It’s got a history that I’ve read about
Left my stomach in a knot all night
I caught a glimpse of the sadness
So shocked it was my resting face
I know it was I who pulled the trigger
But I’m confused and out of place
It’s so weird that we’re strangers when you were all I had
I’ve been trying to fill this void in me since I was a young lad
It’s gonna take a really long time to forgive all of my failures
And fill up all these empty spaces
I had a call with my mother
I’ve barely called her at all
I can hear all the beeps of the machinery, nurses chattering on the ward
I’ve got a stutter and a shaky hand
And a fat lump in my throat
That I was taught real good how to push it down
So far down it’s like a stomach bug
My friend sent a video of his 5 year old girl in bits
Terrified she’d be alone someday and I just fell to pieces
He keeps kicking the can of mortality down the line
There’s a reason why heaven was made up
She’ll worry her little heart out
Just like the rest of us
It’s gonna take a really long time to forgive all of my failures
And fill up all these empty spaces
It’ll take a real long time to forgive all of my failures
And fill up all these empty spaces
Hmm, hmm, hmm
