"Room 226" lyrics

Living with money in a high-class neighborhood
His life hadn't quite turned out like he thought it would
So when the sun went down on the bad side of town, and he needed some time alone
Among the homeless and the whores, the addicts and the doors, was a hotel room he called home

He was searching for something that he'd never find
Comfort and answers, his own peace of mind
He didn't hurt anymore as soon as he'd score his fix
In the shadows and the darkness of room 226

Time takes its toll on a worn thin soul 'til it's gone
He'd light up to say that his way was probably wrong
But it cuts like a knife when you're living a life that you didn't ask to live
And there comes a time when a body will find it's got nothing left to give

He was searching for something that he'd never find
Comfort and answers, his own peace of mind
He didn't hurt anymore as soon as he'd score his fix
In the shadows and the darkness of room 226

A lost soul
Forever 27
Is there a place in heaven for the homeless and the whores, the addicts and the doors, and the hotel room he called home?

He was searching for something that he'd never find
Comfort and answers, his own peace of mind
He didn't hurt anymore as soon as he'd score his fix
In the shadows and the darkness of room 226

Oh, in the shadows and the darkness of room 226
