[Verse] Clock ticks slow, neon hums like a lullaby, Shoes on the linoleum, echo in the aisle. Pills in glass, names I don’t pronounce, But I know every one—every one’s mine. No one’s here but the silence and the shelf, I’m the keeper of the quiet, the ghost of the self. Chest full of keys, mind full of code, I run this place like it’s my own. [Pre-Chorus] They say it’s just a store, just a night shift, But I’m the guard, the rule, the one who’s in it. No spotlight, no crowd, just the beep of the scanner— This is my kingdom, and I’m holding my hand. [Chorus] I’m the one in the back, where the drugs all stay, The queen of the quiet, the late-night ballet. No crown, no throne, but I’m still in charge, This pharmacy’s mine—watch me, watch the dark. No one’s calling, no one’s looking, But I’m sharper than the cold, colder than the clock. Yeah, I’m the one in the back—watch me, watch the dark. [Verse] Cough drops in a row, like soldiers in a line, I adjust the labels, reorganize the sign. That man with the red cap? He came back again— I don’t ask, I just hand him the pen. He don’t need his meds—he needs a name, a face, I give him both in silence, no trace. I don’t smile, I don’t judge, I just know what’s due, In this quiet world, I’m the one who’s true. [Pre-Chorus] They say it’s just a store, just a night shift, But I’m the guard, the rule, the one who’s in it. No spotlight, no crowd, just the beep of the scanner— This is my kingdom, and I’m holding my hand. [Chorus] I’m the one in the back, where the drugs all stay, The queen of the quiet, the late-night ballet. No crown, no throne, but I’m still in charge, This pharmacy’s mine—watch me, watch the dark. No one’s calling, no one’s looking, But I’m sharper than the cold, colder than the clock. Yeah, I’m the one in the back—watch me, watch the dark. [Bridge] You think it’s just a place where the sick come to hide? I’m the pulse when the world’s asleep, the light in the stride. No fame, no fame, but I’m still the boss, I don’t need a mic—my silence speaks loss. And if you see me, don’t say a word, I’m not here for you—just the quiet, the bird, the absurd. [Outro] I’m the one in the back… Watch me… Watch the dark.
