NO WITNESS

[Intro] [clean electric guitar, rain ambience, intimate female vocal] No crowd. No rescue. No witness. [Verse] [restrained clean vocal, minimal drums] I learned to laugh when I was tired, learned to speak when I was numb. Everybody saw the surface, nobody saw what I'd become. [Chorus] [melodic vocal rises into raw scream] NO WITNESS TO THE WAR BEHIND MY EYES! NO WITNESS TO THE NIGHTS I SURVIVED! But I was there, I know the truth: I carried myself when nobody knew. [Bridge] [piano, distant choir, emotional vocal] I don't need applause to know I made it out. [Final Chorus] [full guitars and drums, triumphant] NO WITNESS — BUT I'M STILL ALIVE!
