They need the lights
They need the noise
They need the crowd
To confirm their voice

We know the game
We know the price
A truth that doesn't flatter
Doesn't get the mic

But we're still here
When the room goes dark
We're still here
We don't need your applause to start

Not every truth
Gets the standing crowd
But truth
Doesn't need to be loud

You can fill the room
You can take the stage
You can sell the light
At the going rate

But something waits
Outside your door
It doesn't knock twice
It's been there before
