The people on the other side of the door, they don’t know they don’t know.
The sweat is dripping more and more, but they don’t know they don’t know.
I’m trying to hold my breath, and they don’t know they don’t know.
I’m going with no rest, but they don’t know they don’t know.
I’ll be done in a couple of hours, they don’t know they don’t know.
I’ll mask my work with showers, they don’t know they don’t know.
I’ll push myself past limits, and they don’t know they don’t know.
Time is passing in slow minutes, but they don’t know they don’t know.
In my bedroom with my door locked, they don’t know they don’t know.
Would everyday count as oft? they don’t know they don’t know.
I’m sucking up to my own mirror, they don’t know they don’t know.
I go til my bones show clearer, they don’t know they don’t know.
A food less day affects my strength, they don’t know they don’t know.
But I’ll work with faith, and they won’t know they won’t know.
Jumping jacks 2 4 600 times, they don’t know they don’t know.
Hold a plank and pinch my size, they can’t know they can’t know.
Punching my thighs to reduce their size, they don’t know they don’t know.
A measuring tape on my bedside, they don’t know they don’t know.
Clothes litter my floor, and they know they know.
But they don’t know what for, they don’t know they don’t know.
Stay up past midnight to finish, they don’t know they don’t know.
I step light as a feather so they don’t hear it, they don’t know they don’t know.
A voice is telling me go go go, they don’t know they don’t know.
My mind is trying to reason though, and no one knows how would they know?
A tool I keep hidden in my bathroom, they don’t know they don’t know.
Spraying perfume to hide the bad fumes, they can’t know they can’t know.
What’s on the other side of my bedroom door, they don’t know they don’t know.
And they can’t know, even if I fall under more, because I know.
I know.
