PASSING LIGHTS There’s a house that i've driven past More than a hundred times before Why’re there cops at the door now? Animal on a darkened road Passing lights catch your eyes and glow I was at a low point in my life Couldn’t get myself out of my mind I feel like i’m dying I bet dying don't feel like this Animal on a darkened road Passing lights catch your eyes and glow Animal on a darkened road I was wild before right now Heavy mist a thick black fog Darkness of your deepest thoughts All the hunted creatures cower Choose a cage that’s safe & soundproof Animal on a darkened road Passing lights catch your eyes and glow Animal on a darkened road I was wild before right now

BAD BOY SAD BOY That boy loves rock n roll AC/DC makes him lose control He’s a bad boy, a real sad boy That girl loves Britney Spears Felt more connected through her tragic years She’s a flawed queen, a real human being There’s a diner in my mind It’s alright to come inside You don’t need to find a seat This booth is big enough To fit the rest of us We’ll just slide down Japanese girls walk through the door Apocalypse night swallow it whole There’s an end in sight There’s a warning light Pluck my petals Leave if you like I wanna kiss you in the punishing lights It’s getting late We don’t have to stay Those dark gardens This yellow room Fruit fly eyeballs and the catacomb tombs We’re past kicking in We can get through this That boy loves rock n roll AC/DC makes him lose control He’s a bad boy, a real sad boy That boy loves rock n roll That boy loves rock n roll That boy loves rock n roll bad boy

TOTAL MOGUL 03:03
TOTAL MOGUL Walk in to this interview, my new grey suit Struttin’ like a city pigeon, I ain’t scared of you Even if it’s crumbs at first i’m still getting bread It’s a total mogul mindset In my head Climbing up the ladder in my snake skin boots You can try to weasel in I got my eyes on you Even if you know my moves i’m 3 steps ahead It’s a total mogul mindset In my head It’s a total mogul mindset In my head No One's gonna care as long as you keep throwing money in the air No one's gonna care No one's gonna care No one's gonna care No one's gonna care as long as you keep throwing money in the air Money in the air It’s a total mogul mindset In my head It’s a total mogul mindset In my head

SMALL SUITCASE Keep your hands in the sky Keep your hands where i can see ‘em And you bet good money i would lose Jesus loves my cowboy boots You know a few were shocked but not surprised You go first then i’ll decide Black gate opens on its hinge You can call your congressman I have packed a small suitcase I like it better, better, better that way Pretty good on roller skates Release the pressure, pressure, pressure in the gauge Hotel ballroom full of mirrors Couldn’t sleep at all last year We were new and barely trained Can’t get out of my own way And lovin’ you, i know is wrong Why’d ya leave the AC on? I have packed a small suitcase I like it better, better, better that way Pretty good on roller skates Release the pressure, pressure, pressure in the gauge

MILLION DOLLAR MOMENT Never saw it comin’ Sleepin’ on my side Cut open my stomach Hat over my eyes Such a small coffin Lost in the parade Pump him full of kindness Clear your messy plate I heard the sun sets later here Suicide is so last year I wrote it down don’t off yourself And brush your teeth before bed Cactus by the window Hack away my hair New light summer child I told him not to run I heard the sun sets later here Suicide is so last year I wrote it down don’t off yourself And brush your teeth before bed I heard the sun sets later here Suicide is so last year I wrote it down don’t off yourself And brush your teeth before bed Million dollar moment Closing of an eye You’ll need a friend in heaven I am not that guy Summoned all my demons Heavy is the day Life is full of meaning Get out of the way I heard the sun sets later here Suicide is so last year I wrote it down don’t off yourself And brush your teeth before bed I heard the sun sets later here Suicide is so last year I wrote it down don’t off yourself And brush your teeth before bed

LONELY FIGURE A box of broken compasses A pile of yellow sand Scrolling through a pixelated decade A mirror in my hand Small ball in a wooden maze A single spinning coin I love you like a missing tooth Child with a toy Lonely figure moving down the hall Covered faces those not known at all, at all Therapy reminded me I’ve got some things to change The architect designed this Cathedral to contain Saw all in a woman’s gaze A finger picking boy I’m above you in my living tomb Smile without joy Lonely figure moving down the hall Covered faces those not known at all, at all Dress yourself in black for me Dress yourself in black A golden key a purple door Give it a quarter turn A photograph of someone smiling At your funeral Understand that you’re part of a pattern Dogs pacing back and forth Lonely figure moving down the hall Covered faces those not known at all Lonely figure moving down the hall Covered faces those not known at all, at all Dress yourself in black for me Dress yourself in black Dress yourself in black for me Dress yourself in black

CLOSING IN 04:02
CLOSING IN This house is empty End of an era Head in to the unknown Of tomorrow like an arrow I’ll find a day job So you won’t worry Do what makes me happy Even though it won’t make money Stuck in a rut Got me feelin’ like a ghost Lost in the loop I know hope can hurt the most The parties of your early twenties Will start to feel like a vague dream Until you’re closing in on thirty And can’t remember anything Piss out confetti This party’s over I don’t want you back now i’m just looking for some closure I haven’t slept much My visions blurry Worry wake up early Everything’s a controversy Stuck in a rut Got me feelin’ like a ghost Lost in the loop I know hope can hurt the most The parties of your early twenties Will start to feel like a vague dream Until you’re closing in on thirty And can’t remember anything The heartbreak of your early twenties Will stay with you like a bad dream And then you’re closing in on thirty And you haven’t changed a thing Small towns have got a way of keeping things quiet Small towns have got a way of keeping you down The parties of your early twenties Will start to feel like a vague dream Until you’re closing in on thirty And can’t remember anything The heartbreak of your early twenties Will stay with you like a bad dream And then you’re closing in on thirty And you haven’t changed a thing
