Vacancy

[Intro] [Verse 1] Ice machine humming through a paper-thin wall Red numbers glowing by the side of the bed Keys on the dresser, ash in the sink Half-drunk water and a scent going sweet TV talking to nobody Curtains breathing in the air unit draft The room holds everything we brought into it And gives nothing back [Pre-Chorus] Cheap light Thin walls Bodies near enough to lie Far enough to disappear inside [Chorus] Vacancy That’s what the room had left for us Vacancy Warm enough to fake the touch Vacancy No pulse, no prayer, no self within Just light through the blinds And no one really in it [Verse 2] Your makeup fading on a folded towel My voice coming back wrong off the mirror We moved like the night still meant something Now it just smells like static and stale smoke There’s a way a room can empty out Before anybody leaves A way the body can stay horizontal While the rest of you checks out unseen [Pre-Chorus] Cheap thrill Low hum Morning waiting under the door Like it’s seen this all before [Chorus] Vacancy That’s what the room had left for us Vacancy Warm enough to fake the touch Vacancy No pulse, no prayer, no self within Just light through the blinds And no one really in it [Bridge] Not ruin Not grace Just the shape of something used A bed still warm A mirror gone dull A little skin A little proof And nothing underneath it [Final Chorus] Vacancy That’s what the night turned into Vacancy Cheap enough to pass for truth Vacancy No depth, no wound, no meaning left Just light through the blinds On whatever we were then [Outro] Vacancy Blue light No one home All night
