Empty Spaces

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 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 barely called her at all I can hear all the beeps of the machinery Nurses chattering on the ward I got a stutter and a shaky hand And a fat lump in my throat But 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 five-year-old girl in bed 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 really long time To forgive all of my failures And fill up all these empty spaces
