Pretty Picture Of Lies Lyrics

Oh, beautiful scar from a carnal injection. My cheating visual. My righteousness, ugly. My eyes are fixed. Sucks me to emptiness. This pretty picture, this blossoming plague. Blessed leech persist, and save me from you. Come to me when you want to be nothing. Come to me when you want what makes me tick. Come to me when you want to stop breathing. Come to me when you feel like living. You can come to me when you want to die. If it ever gets that bad, you can come to me. When you want to.

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.

This song is nuts. He seems to have a fierce loathing of humanity. Maybe its the christian thing. I dunno. I'm kinda tired.

Wow, I am stumped. Not a clue. It looks like maybe he's talking about being somehow addicted to a drug or doing drugs or someone addicted to drugs and slowly wearing their life away. Maybe. "cheating visual", sounds like being high. Or whatever.
