[Teenage male vocal]
[Verse 1]
I cover my eyes to manage the load
Patterns collapse when I look too close
If I don’t name it, it keeps its shape
A problem survives when it stays vague
[Pre-Chorus]
Silence is not peace
It’s a storage room
[Chorus]
Three monkeys dancing in a narrow loop
Eyes covered, ears shut, mouths on mute
They move in time to what they won’t admit
A practiced rhythm of legitimate fear
See no evil — reduce the input
Hear no evil — filter the noise
Speak no evil — delay the damage
Three small acts
One large avoidance
[Verse 2]
I mute the room to keep control
Truth arrives faster than I can process
What I don’t hear can’t ask me to move
Responsibility travels through sound
[Pre-Chorus]
Attention is a choice
So is withdrawal
[Chorus]
Three monkeys dancing in a narrow loop
Eyes covered, ears shut, mouths on mute
They move in time to what they won’t admit
A practiced rhythm of legitimate fear
See no evil — manage perception
Hear no evil — protect the system
Speak no evil — preserve position
Three smart limits
One growing cost
[Bridge]
The mind learns shortcuts
Calls them ethics
Calls them wisdom
Calls them survival
But nothing disappears
It only waits
Behind the hands
[Verse 3]
I close my mouth to keep the map intact
Words rearrange the world too much
Once it’s spoken, it needs an answer
Unsaid things stay obedient
[Chorus]
Three monkeys dancing in a narrow loop
Eyes covered, ears shut, mouths on mute
They move in time to what they won’t admit
A practiced rhythm of legitimate fear
See no evil — cognitive mercy
Hear no evil — emotional triage
Speak no evil — social anesthesia
Three trained instincts
One shared lie
[Outro]
The monkeys were not blind
They were careful
And care, untreated,
Turns into habit
