No One's Watching

alternative rock, experimental electronic rock, J-rock

**NO ONE'S WATCHING**

**[INTRO — whispered, close-mic]**
Lock the door.
Turn the lights down.
Nobody knows.
Nobody knows.

**[VERSE 1]**
I know the room.
I know the hour.
I know exactly what I came here for.
No witnesses.
No questions.
No one to tell me I'm becoming someone I don't recognize.

I can delete it.
I can hide it.
I can swear it never happened.
If nobody saw me—
did it really count?

**[PRE-CHORUS]**
I built a little kingdom
where nobody could see.
Funny how the walls got smaller
every time I called it freedom.

**[CHORUS]**
**NO ONE'S WATCHING.**
That's what I keep telling myself.
**NO ONE'S WATCHING.**
So I can be somebody else.
Nobody knows.
Nobody sees.
Nobody knows what's underneath.

**NO ONE'S WATCHING—**
Except the One
I keep pretending isn't there.

**[VERSE 2]**
I got good at looking normal.
Good at smiling in the morning.
Good at carrying my secrets
like they weighed absolutely nothing.

I know what people think I am.
I know what I let them see.
But You have never met the version
I invented just for me.

And that's the part I hate—
You don't even have to accuse me.
You already know.

**[PRE-CHORUS]**
I thought darkness could protect me.
I thought silence meant release.
But the room is getting louder
every time You don't leave.

**[CHORUS]**
**NO ONE'S WATCHING.**
That's what I keep telling myself.
**NO ONE'S WATCHING.**
So I can be somebody else.
Nobody knows.
Nobody sees.
Nobody knows what's underneath.

**NO ONE'S WATCHING—**
Except the One
I keep pretending isn't there.

**[BRIDGE — almost complete silence]**
You saw it.

Before I hid it.
Before I named it.
Before I learned to lie about it.

You saw me
when nobody else did.

And somehow—
You stayed.

**[BUILD — whispered → shouted]**
I wanted a God
who only watched the daylight.

You found me in the dark.

I wanted a God
who looked away.

**BUT YOU WOULDN'T.**

Not because You came to shame me.

Because You came
to bring me home.

**[FINAL CHORUS — explosive]**
**NO ONE'S WATCHING!**
No—I've been lying to myself.
**NO ONE'S WATCHING!**
But You were there when no one else was.

You saw the worst.
You know the truth.
You know the things I never say.

**NO ONE'S WATCHING—**
BUT YOU ARE.

And You haven't turned away.

**[OUTRO — stripped back]**
Lock the door.

Turn the lights down.

I don't need to hide anymore.

You saw me.

You stayed.

You still want me.

**No one's watching...**

Except You.
