Lyrics
IntroNo camera.
No applause.
No one there
To tell you
You did the right thing.
Good.
Verse 1Some choices happen quietly
No speech
No final scene
Just you
Alone with the weight
And nowhere left to hide
No one sees the message
You never send
The hand
You finally pull back
The thing you could return to
But don’t
The moment you choose
Not to betray yourself
Even though nobody
Would ever know
Pre-ChorusNot everything
That matters
Needs to be seen
ChorusSOME THINGS
DON’T NEED A WITNESS
DON’T NEED A CROWD
DON’T NEED APPLAUSE
NO ONE HAS TO SEE
WHAT IT COST
NO ONE HAS TO KNOW
WHAT YOU KILLED
TO KEEP YOURSELF
SOME THINGS
DON’T NEED A WITNESS
THEY JUST NEED
TO BE TRUE
Verse 2There are nights
You almost go back
Names
You almost call
Old versions of yourself
Still waiting
For one weak moment
There is always
An easier choice
A softer lie
A way to disappear
Without anyone
Calling it failure
But character grows
Where no one claps
In the private no
In the quiet restraint
In the moment
You stand alone
And still
Don’t move
BridgeMaybe that’s why
The world never sees it
It sees the result
Never the cost
The scars
Never the decision
The man
Never the thousand moments
That built him
Black Metal BreakNO WITNESS
NO PRAISE
NO FUCKING PERMISSION
I KNOW
WHAT IT COST ME
I KNOW
WHAT I REFUSED
I KNOW
WHO I COULD HAVE BEEN
AND WHO
I CHOSE
NOT TO BECOME
Final ChorusSOME THINGS
DON’T NEED A WITNESS
DON’T NEED A NAME
DON’T NEED THE WORLD
TO CALL THEM BRAVE
NO ONE HAS TO PRAISE IT
NO ONE HAS TO UNDERSTAND
SOME OF THE STRONGEST THINGS YOU DO
WILL HAPPEN
WITH NO ONE WATCHING
SOME THINGS
DON’T NEED A WITNESS
THEY JUST NEED
TO BE YOURS
OutroNo camera.
No applause.
No proof.
Just you
Knowing
You meant it.
