A song for the moment when the room is still full, but something central is already missing.
Performance, memory, and instinct keep crossing wires. The title is a mask, a wish, a dare, or the hope that someone might still answer.
Sing like no one’s listening, I scream in the shower
Belt out my secrets, give the neighbours full power
Dance like I'm free, but it's a show on demand
Living my truth, with a script in my hand
They say love like you’ve never been burned
But I keep the ashes, cards left unturned
I hit my marks, I'm good at this
Smile on cue, sell the bliss
I know my lines, I hold the floor
Got the timing, got the lore
But then
Like nobody’s watching
I freeze in the light
Forget what I’m selling
And who it’s for tonight
Like nobody’s watching
Yeah right
I hug like I’m healed, but it’s just a decor,
Swipe through my feelings, who I was before
Truth is a mirror, I angle the lightning
Freedom’s an illusion… still worth fighting for
They say love like you’ve never been burned
But I keep the ashes, cards left unturned
Dance like nobody’s watching
Or better, dance with me
Sing like we mean it
Even if we’re off-key
Love like we’re broken
But still want to try
Call it a show
At least we know why
They say love like you’ve never been burned
But I keep the ashes, cards left unturned
We do it all like somebody’s watching
And maybe that’s fine
You see me, I see you
Pretending in time
So dance with me
Yeah, right here, tonight
So dance with me
Like Nobody's watching
Here, tonight
