[Verse 1] I moved into the east wing where the paint peels off in strips Room 214 still has a wristband on the sink The call button clicks by itself at 3:07 And somebody in the vents keeps dragging something down the hall Mike lives in the laundry room, he laughs through the rusted doors Alex hangs by radiology, boots up on the counter edge They don’t scare me like they should Mostly they just want to talk [Chorus] In this dead-end hospital, I’m not here alone Two ghosts and a humming fridge keep me from going home Mike says, "Don’t touch the basement key" Alex says, "Don’t trust the doctor’s room 63" The lights buzz low, the floor feels thin And every night I learn to live with them [Verse 2] A rusted gurney’s trapped in elevator three, Reeking of ancient blood beneath the bleach. I choke down cold noodles at the nurse's station desk, While Mike knocks once for stay, twice for lock the door. Alex leaves notes in the margin of the chart Names scratched out hard where the ink turned brown He points at the windows when the wind comes in Like something outside is trying to get in too [Chorus] In this dead-end hospital, I’m not here alone Two ghosts and a humming fridge keep me from going home Mike says, "Don’t touch the basement key" Alex says, "Don’t trust the doctor’s room 63" The lights buzz low, the floor feels thin And every night I learn to live with them [Bridge] Some nights we all hear footsteps on the roof Some nights it’s just the pipes and my bad luck But when the halls go quiet and the static starts to climb Mike and Alex stay And the dark stays safe [Chorus] In this dead-end hospital, I’m not here alone Two ghosts and a humming fridge keep me from going home Mike says, "Don’t touch the basement key" Alex says, "Don’t trust the doctor’s room 63" The lights buzz low, the floor feels thin And every night I learn to live with them
