These Rooms - B. Dolan

The show is over the doors are closed and the gates are opened

The money settled the van packed and the money is loaded

If you ain’t smoking you shaking hands and hallowing peace

Checking your phone while you climbing over the middle seat

Heading for home but the stretch of road that is in between

Letting you know that you owe the engine a little sleep

After the anchor in these rooms we bar room

Suspended between last night and tomorrow

A place where the scary spotlight cannot follow

And you can get a mattress and a couple clean towels

Thats right we are on a mission from God

Know how to bargain with the devil

Give them my card i need a late check out

I’ve been hitting it hard i’m trying to lay down

And trying to catch the cousin of death

Deep in the shadow of deth we come To get rest

And haunt retread ghost living under those beds

To tell us these rooms don’t know our names

Where we been or why we came

They don’t care because they don’t change

We leave here we leave no trace at all

These rooms don’t know our names

Where we been or why we came

And they don’t care because they don’t change

We leave here we leave no trace at all

Remember days I’m trying to make my way down in the city

Move out of the house and lived on couches

Know how to live simply

You had your doubts but we had no crew in here with me

You poppin bottles I’m trying to make a song that kills me

I slept in station obsessing on how to break the locks

Get up on the stage It’s all a slay I’m with the shorts

Till the last jaw drop make them all envy

And bleed for the people to see my full heart was empty

And when the show was over came the owners with their hands shaking

Wanting me to sign release forms and talking about my fan base

But hold up it feels wrong with all that i couldn’t translate

Had me at the afterparty planning to escape

Mama make it i’ll kick it to the door

Find a way to elevate you lean back to my floor

Then all four seasons remind me of the highest

I see the rock stars coming and trying to start a riot

And you can crash the place but if you break it then you buy it

And then replace it with another one just like it

Yea and then replace it with another one just like it

It goes rock rock ya’ll to the beat ya’ll

Then we beat up the mini bars and go to sleep ya’ll

My rock and roll lifestyle is catching all the flights now

Fall asleep in these jeans and never turned the lights off

Wake up in the morning and they banging on my door again

Too early for check out but fuck it i’m up and honoury

Daylight is leaking through burn marks in the curtains

People arriving and leaving taking turns parking their burdens

No signs of leaves but they work hard and earning

To stay here for a week you can learn a lot from a person

Tomorrow’s not certain so they charge us by the hour

I’ve searched in the top draw to find a higher power

But all i found was empty plastic bags from the dump

A couple common rammers and a couple expired tv guides

Leaving a painting patty incase you need to rhyme

But i just lay upton of the sheets and dream most of the time
