[Intro - low hums and muted drums] (Yeah...) Everybody talking, nobody listening. [Verse 1 - conversational flow] I used to dance for the noise, Tried to find peace in their poise. Every nod felt like a crown, Till I saw how fast they tear it down. They like you best when you’re small, Quiet, easy to stall. I was chasing their reflection, Till I lost my own direction. [Pre-Chorus - soft harmony layers, echoing voice] (They don’t see me, they see what they want...) (They don’t hear me, they just respond...) [Chorus - smooth, soulful, rhythmic] THE CHOIR DON’T KNOW MY NAME, BUT I STILL SING MY WAY. I DON’T NEED THEIR PRAISE TODAY. WHEN YOU LIVE FOR THEIR EYES, YOU FORGET YOUR OWN FRAME. I’M FREE WHEN THE CHOIR DON’T KNOW MY NAME. [Verse 2 - tighter, more rhythm in the flow] Everybody wanna set the scene, Tell you who to be on screen. Every like a little leash, Every trend another preach. I been quiet inside the storm, Finding my truth in my own form. You can’t please what you can’t trust, So I let the noise turn to dust. [Pre-Chorus - distant harmonies, building tension] (They don’t see me, they see what they want...) (They don’t hear me, they just respond...) [Chorus - bigger vocal layering, more groove] THE CHOIR DON’T KNOW MY NAME, BUT I STILL SING MY WAY. I DON’T NEED THEIR PRAISE TODAY. WHEN YOU LIVE FOR THEIR EYES, YOU FORGET YOUR OWN FRAME. I’M FREE WHEN THE CHOIR DON’T KNOW MY NAME. [Bridge - spoken word tone, beat stripped down] They love you when you echo back, They hate you when you find your track. Every word’s a wave, but I stay still, If I move for them, I lose my will. I found calm in the static hum, Where the crowd fades and I go numb. Silence ain’t empty — it’s clean. It’s where I meet the in-between. [Final Chorus - dynamic and confident] THE CHOIR DON’T KNOW MY NAME, BUT I STILL SING MY WAY. I DON’T NEED THEIR PRAISE TODAY. WHEN YOU LIVE FOR THEIR EYES, YOU FORGET YOUR OWN FRAME. I’M FREE WHEN THE CHOIR DON’T KNOW MY NAME. [Outro - soft vocal fade, warm Rhodes keys] (Yeah...) The noise don’t own me. I don’t need to be seen to be real.
