No One's Watching This

lyrics

Why so awake?
The dance is off
The jester took your ring.
You built concert halls
From bedroom floors
It didn't mean a thing.

Your whisper sinks
Drowned by the chords
You play to be pretend.
With no success
Don't get depressed
There's no one watching this.

Oh, you've come so far
Only to be eclipsed
No one's watching this.
And, baby, you're a star
But what's the point of it?
No one's watching this.

Can't fall asleep
Keep the TV on
Get me the wine glass please
The sheet's too loose
Legs can't keep still
My mouth keeps grinding teeth.

Just break my wings
So I can rest
Unknown to my regrets
And pound the floor
With violent fists
There's no one watching this.

Oh, you've come so far
Only to be eclipsed
No one's watching this.
And, baby, you're a star
But what's the point of it?
No one's watching this.

I lurk in the shadows but long for the light
I kicked down the door then ran scared for my life
And I want something more but I'll stick to my kind
And one day this specter just might lose its shine.

No one's watching this.
