[Intro]
Keep your eyes on the door
Count the names on the floor
[Verse 1]
Black suit, cold hands, rain on the glass
You say my name, then you swallow it fast
Gold on your wrist, but your pulse gives you away
You own half the town; still you lock up at daybreak
[Pre-Chorus]
Every room goes quiet when I walk in
Every brave face cracks at the edges
You made a throne out of other people’s fear
Now tell me, boss, what are you afraid of here?
[Chorus]
Boss man, fear looks good on you
All that power, still you shake when the room goes mute
Boss man, tell me what you’ll do
When the one who knows your secrets stops believing you
You can buy the door, you can buy the view
But you can’t buy the night that’s closing in on you
Boss man, fear looks good on you
[Verse 2]
Red phone ringing, nobody picks up
Your trusted right hand has had enough
You watch the mirror like it owes you a name
But the face looking back isn’t part of your game
[Pre-Chorus]
Every room goes quiet when I walk in
Every brave face cracks at the edges
You made a throne out of other people’s fear
Now tell me, boss, what are you afraid of here?
[Chorus]
Boss man, fear looks good on you
All that power, still you shake when the room goes mute
Boss man, tell me what you’ll do
When the one who knows your secrets stops believing you
You can buy the door, you can buy the view
But you can’t buy the night that’s closing in on you
Boss man, fear looks good on you
[Bridge]
No more favors, no more names
No more hiding behind your game
Your own shadow knows the truth
It’s been waiting here for you
[Final Chorus]
Boss man, fear looks good on you
All that power, still you shake when the room goes mute
Boss man, tell me what you’ll do
When the one who knows your secrets stops believing you
You can buy the door, you can buy the view
But you can’t buy the night that’s closing in on you
Boss man, fear looks good on you
[Outro]
Keep your eyes on the door
Count the names no more
