As The Bottom Falls Out Lyrics

Eyes tear as our fingers curl theweight of the world through the veins of the youth- Bodies charged with thecurrent of conscience of fury, of horror for lives never lived- (AND DREAMS) Thecapacity to hope- A privilege lost to a terrible blindness- (OUR DREAMS) Thepotential to strive- Overwhelmed when we've barely the means to survive (DREAMSNEVER DREAMT)- Undercover of a semi-conscious enclave there is no conception ofconnection to all those who slave But in a moment of focused, devouring pain allnativity gone as the volume of grief becomes plain-as the bottom falls out-I'mso scared that we'll never know fulfillment and peace, while breathing oftragedy and shredding our lungs- but I know, with your arms on my shoulders,that our outrage is weaponry and I'm on your side.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
