Room For Forgiveness - Hamilton Leithauser

The light in the tumbler’s

Hypnotic, I wonder if

I never told the right kind of lies

Here in the darkness

There’s room for forgiveness

So we settle in

When boys start to sing

Blinded by the black light

Shaken by the silence

We’d be happy to surrender

When hell freezes over

You gave your confession

And I’d love to listen

But brother you’ve got a lot to unload

Here in the darkness

Come early and often

And we’ll all give in

When boys start to sing

Blasted by the thunder

Frozen by a darkness

It’s a shame we never surrendered

Cuz it’s only getting harder

Lonesome blowhard

Let’s pick up the tempo!

You blow so hard

We could show them

The happy endings

We’d always imagined

Like old friends

But these little night caps

Don’t bring the bite back

So I’ll miss you old bores

When I won’t be there for

Brother I know

So much to swallow

Brother I know

Big tales to off load

Brother I know

Oh where does the time go?
