Goodnight my Love, my lovely Love. Goddamn shame to be a traitor.
I’ve got God in a shoebox under my bed waiting for my finger.
We both look better in the dark so I’ll do it while were sleeping,
that way I will not reflect my father’s defining feature.
The absence of consciousness, welcomes the presence of formulated manipulation.
I won’t feel a thing if you don’t.
Feel what I feel and you’ll find faith to believe in God.
God I need you, because I am familiar with the Devil.
I’ve been waiting for the sun to come and dry up all this rain,
but I’m caught out in the storm.
It’s three a.m. and I’ve got you good. I’ve got you right where I want you.
It must be easy to hold your tongue now with help from a forty-five.
“Next Exit: One Mile” it read, but you’re moving a mile a minute.
That gives you around sixty seconds before you reach your destination.
Where will you go?
I won’t feel a thing if you don’t.
Your safety came with distance but you foolishly fell into consistency.
Place your hand where it does not belong and I’ll be a reminder of your size.
Your steady way mirrors the end, the vibrance that fill the pillow behind the head.
The one you chose to live within, the one that said, that one that says.
Black quite quickly.
White next swiftly.
Oh so sorry.
Buenas Noches.

I think this song is about someone waiting to get justice for their partner cheating on them. The sun drying up the rain would be happiness but it doesnt happen and they're stuck in the storm.
God in their shoebox obviously is a gun, and it waiting for their finger means that it would only be fair to use it. The devil is the partner who keeps cheating. "I wont feel a thing if you don't feel what I feel" probably means that they're in love but they wouldnt care to use the gun if its that unrequited.
Now I'm just kinda guessing at the second verse but maybe the exit could resemble heaven or hell? It seems that they're giving their partner a chance to spill and I think it only makes sense if the "it must be easy to hold your tounge" would be sarcastic. The option is there "Where will you go?"
"Your safety came with distance but you foolishly fell into consistency" means that the cheater never really liked being close but the singer went along with it anyway because they loved them. "Place your hand where it does not belong" means to cheat, and the "vibrance that fills the pillow behind my head" keeps them up all night. "The one you chose to live within" means that the cheater committed and what they're doing is fucked up.
To me, this song reads about feeling split in two. The narrator is the "traitor" who is falling victim to depression and dark feelings in private despite wanting to be better for the sake of loved ones in public. Having this darker aspect to who he is obviously straining to his mental well-being and he contemplates killing himself to be free of it (God waiting underneath his bed in a shoe box being his mode of suicide).The narrator likens this "traitor" side of himself to his father, someone with traits or vices he fears he himself had inherited.
As he is contemplating killing off these sides to his being, he thrust further into a train of thought associated with his "traitor" side, seeing as how suicide itself is a dark thing to ponder. When he says "I won't feel a thing if you don't" I believe he is speaking to his father, who he feels is responsible passing on to him the ability to have such horrible thoughts, and would be able to relate.
When he says that if you feel what I feel, you'll find faith to believe in god he is suggesting that he is experiencing such emotional turmoil that it will scare you into searching for a god.
