12. I Answer to Myself — by ConstantinVibe

[Intro – single piano notes] No applause Follows this --- [Verse 1] No one signs The quiet decisions No one witnesses The inner revisions There’s no crowd When you redraw lines No celebration For private spine --- [Pre-Chorus] But I feel it And that is enough --- [Chorus] I answer to myself Before I answer to anyone I measure my steps By the weight of what I’ve become I answer to myself No echo required No external fire To keep me inspired --- [Verse 2] I don’t move To be understood I don’t stand To look good The mirror is steady The gaze is clear I don’t negotiate With fear --- [Pre-Chorus] Silence No longer questions me --- [Chorus] I answer to myself And the room gets still Not because I demand it But because I will I answer to myself And that’s enough No borrowed light No borrowed love --- [Bridge – instruments thin] Nothing to defend Nothing to prove Just alignment --- [Final Chorus – slightly wider] I answer to myself Before the day begins Not out of pride But out of discipline I answer to myself And I remain The same spark Through every change --- [Outro – fade] No applause Follows this
