Nobody Gets Close | Alastor Original Song

NOBODY GETS CLOSE Behind Alastor's charming grin and gentlemanly manners lies a mind no one can truly understand. He welcomes you to the show, entertains your curiosity, and lets you believe you've discovered his secrets. But every secret you uncover is exactly what he allows you to see. In “Nobody Gets Close,” Alastor proves that courtesy isn't trust, a smile isn't affection, and knowing someone's name doesn't mean knowing who they really are. He decides what you see—and nothing more. LYRICS — NOBODY GETS CLOSE Good evening, dear listeners! What a pleasure to see you all. I hear you've got questions about me… Oh, how precious! You want to know me? You're welcome to enjoy the show, The music, jokes, and charm. But don't mistake a gracious host For someone who means you no harm. Now, settle in, sit back, relax… And mind where you put your hands. After all, dear friends… Some things are best left unexamined. A polished shoe, a charming grin, A gracious bow to usher you in. A clever quip, a voice so sweet, And now you think we've grown quite deep? You spill your secrets, bare your soul, As though confession makes you whole. Oh, what a darling little game— You know the smile, but not the flame. You hear the laughter, see the grin, And wonder what lies underneath my skin. You search for cracks, a tell, a clue… How kind of me to entertain you NOBODY GETS CLOSE, NOBODY GETS IN! You see the charm, not the beast within! Admire the voice, remember the name, But you'll never see beyond the frame! NOBODY GETS CLOSE, DON'T CROSS THAT LINE! Your curiosity won't make what's mine yours to find! You may have my attention, you may hear me speak… But the truth behind the smile is not yours to seek! Oh, darling, did you think we'd share our fears, Trade little secrets over drinks and tears? You want a glimpse behind the curtain, A little truth to make you certain. You think persistence earns you trust, That time will turn my locks to dust. How sweet! You think that we're the same— Because I smile, you think you've won the game! Don't mistake my patience for trust, Or my good manners for a bond between us. I choose the truth, I choose the lie, I choose which stars light up your sky. And if you think you've seen the real me… You've seen precisely what I let you see. NOBODY GETS CLOSE, NOBODY GETS IN! You see the gentleman, not the fiend within! You can study my habits, memorize my face, But you'll never find a key to this place! NOBODY GETS CLOSE, SO TAKE THE HINT! There's no hidden promise in the way that I grin! You may know my voice, you may know my name… But you don't know the monster behind the game! Now, let's be civilized. You've asked your questions, You've made your guesses, You've written little stories about the man you think you know. Some say I'm lonely, Some say I'm frightened, Some insist there's a softer heart beneath the show. My, my… You people do love a tale. A little mystery to make your evenings less stale. What if every answer that you've ever gained Was planted there by me, To make you think you'd found the key? You want the truth? How positively quaint. But wanting something, darling… Doesn't mean you get a taste. I never offered you my confidence, You dressed up manners as evidence. You heard me laugh and called it care, Saw me beside you and thought I'd share. But every door has got a lock, And every guest must mind the clock. So keep your theories, polished and refined— They're quite amusing, but they're all mine. You want confession? A crack in the disguise? A glimpse of the truth behind these eyes? Then listen closely, and understand: YOU GET NO MORE THAN I COMMAND. NOBODY GETS CLOSE! NOBODY GETS IN! You see the gentleman, never the fiend behind the grin! You can chase every shadow, dissect every lie, But you'll never see more than I choose to supply! NOBODY GETS CLOSE! NOW DON'T YOU FORGET! The biggest mistake is believing we've met! You know the voice, you remember the name, But you've never known the beast behind the frame! NOBODY GETS CLOSE! THAT'S HOW IT WILL BE! You know what I show, not what's hidden in me! You wanted the truth, wanted something sincere… Well, here's your answer: YOU WERE NEVER INVITED IN, MY DEAR! Well, I do hope you've enjoyed our little conversation. You've been a most delightful audience. And if you leave here thinking you've finally figured me out… By all means. Do keep thinking. A little imagination makes the world so much more entertaining. Good night, dear listeners. You may know my face. You may know my name. You may even recognize my voice… But the beast behind the smile? You'll never know the same. Enjoyed the show?
