[Intro – 0:00–0:18]
(Atmospheric pads, distant radio static, slow pulsing synth)
(No vocals – optional whispered “Do you see that?” ad-libs)
⸻
[Verse 1 – 0:18–0:48]
Midnight glow on a frozen screen
Coffee cold but my mind stays keen
Redacted lines and a blurred-out frame
Pilots swear it’s not a plane
Breaking stories from overseas
Something moves with impossible speed
They say “relax, it’s just a light”
But I’ve seen enough to doubt that line
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – 0:48–1:02]
Laugh it off, tell me get some sleep
But the truth keeps calling me
⸻
[Chorus – 1:02–1:32]
I’ve got my eyes on the sky
Feet on the ground, thoughts up high
From ocean deep to desert fire
I chase the truth they can’t deny
Hand on the book, they testify
No more whispers, no more lies
While the world just scrolls on by
I’ve got my eyes on the sky
⸻
[Verse 2 – 1:32–2:02]
Documentaries stacked too deep
Chile to Japan, I barely sleep
Radar hits and Navy jets
“Unidentified” — not “aliens” yet
Whistleblowers breaking rank
Saying things they can’t retract
If even generals hesitate
Tell me what’s left to debate
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – 2:02–2:16]
From Phoenix lights to Tic-Tac speed
Something’s changing what we believe
⸻
[Chorus – 2:16–2:46]
I’ve got my eyes on the sky
Watching history real-time
Closed-door truths dragged into light
This ain’t sci-fi anymore tonight
Under oath, they testify
Measured words, nervous eyes
Say it straight, don’t sanitize
I’ve got my eyes on the sky
⸻
[Bridge – 2:46–3:02]
If we’re alone, then say it clear
If we’re not, the moment’s here
Truth don’t care who’s terrified
You can’t outrun the other side
⸻
[Final Chorus – 3:02–3:32]
I’ve got my eyes on the sky
Since when did truth become a crime?
From leaked files to open mics
This is more than lights at night
Call me obsessed, I won’t deny
Someone’s gotta ask “why?”
Till the cover stories die
I’ve got my eyes on the sky
⸻
[Outro – 3:32–3:50]
(Synths fade, static returns)
(Soft vocoder line: “Look up… this time”)
