Lyrics
He learned early
How to stand in a room
Without drawing attention
How to nod at the right moments
How to look harmless enough to be trusted
The lectures were clear
So were the rules
Nothing was ever demanded
Only anticipated
Silence counted as insight
Agreement passed as balance
He learned the language
That never risks a position
Sentences rounded off
Opinions folded small
Safe enough to carry
Never sharp enough to cut
Mistakes were not acknowledged
They were collected
Quietly, carefully
Not to accuse
But to possess
Details found their place
Nothing urgent
Nothing personal
Just enough to be useful later
Details found their place
Nothing urgent
Nothing personal
Just enough to be useful later
