The Watchers in the Room

[Verse 1] They said it’s just for safety’s sake, A harmless rule the system makes. But every wall and watching eye Can turn your truth to alibi. [Chorus] Who guards the one who came for care? When trust is thin and strangers stare. If healing means I can’t be free, Then who’s the patient meant to be? [Verse 2] They call them chaperones, watchers, discreet, Colleagues bound to keep the seat. But if the truth cuts through the frame, Their voice could cost them pay and name. [Chorus] Who guards the one who came for care? When trust is thin and strangers stare. If healing means I can’t be free, Then who’s the patient meant to be? [Bridge] They say it’s for protection’s sake, But that’s the tale the lawyers make. A mirror built to hide the flame, Where privacy’s the price of blame. [Verse 3] The oath was once to do no harm, To heal with heart, with steady arm. But comfort fades when trust is sold, For fear of loss and legal hold. [Final Chorus] Who guards the one who came for care? When trust is thin and strangers stare. Let honesty, not fear, decide— And give the patient back their pride. [Outro – softly] The room should hold just care and truth— Not watchers guarding what they’d lose.
