"Keep Your Eyes on Me" A psychological friendship song — ambient rock meets soul, inspired by The Mars Volta --- [Intro – Spoken, over echoing guitar delay] You don’t have to say it. I already know. The way your laugh lingers too long, The way your smile fades too fast. You're changing... And I see it. --- [Verse 1] There’s a flicker in your mirror, you try to ignore Trading black for gold, but it stains your core You wear the silence like a velvet glove But I read the tremble — that’s more than enough You’re dancing on wires, high above doubt But I’m still below, arms stretched out The world’s too loud — but I’m the quiet key You don’t owe them truth — just keep your eyes on me --- [Chorus – First Chorus] I’ll be your secret shore, when the tide gets rough When you’re not sure who’s safe to trust You don’t have to bleed for them to believe You’re becoming someone they might not receive But I already do — I always did Even in shadows, I know where you hid So don’t explain, don’t flee — Just keep your eyes on me --- [Verse 2] You cover your light with clever disguise Afraid the glow might blind their eyes But I see the pulse beneath your skin The softest strength that dares to begin I won’t ask where you’ve been, or why you lied I just see the ache you try to hide It’s okay to unfold slow and unseen I’ll guard your blooming like evergreen --- [Bridge – Instrumental chaos + whispered vocals] (Whispers overlapping, as instruments build and fall apart) "I saw you before the shift…" "I stayed anyway…" "You’re not alone in this anymore…" "I never needed the world to understand — just you." (Surround with experimental delay and noise textures) --- [Instrumental – CHAOS Pt. 2 + Whispered Voices] [Second instrumental break — more intense, chaotic] Layer whispering voices again: "Keep your eyes on me…" "Don’t be afraid to be new…" "Even if no one gets it…" "I do." --- [Chorus – Reprise of First Chorus] I’ll be your secret shore, when the tide gets rough When you’re not sure who’s safe to trust You don’t have to bleed for them to believe You’re becoming someone they might not receive But I already do — I always did Even in shadows, I know where you hid So don’t explain, don’t flee — Just keep your eyes on me --- [Final Chorus – Emotional Lift] I’ll be your voice when the words won’t come I’ll be the silence that feels like sun You don’t have to fight to prove you’re free You don’t have to show the world to show me I already know — I always did Even when you lost track of the kid So don’t explain, don’t flee — Just keep your eyes on me Just keep your eyes on me.... Keep your eyes on me....
