Mystery Boy Lyrics

We pretend and bleed fake
There's nothing left for you to take
Let it hurt, let us feed
I don't care 'cause I don't need
Now he's gone, but there he is
We dug him up andnow he digs in

Are you?
Mystery Boy
Born without a choice
Mystery Boy
Face without a voice

Let us steal and never make
Ride the lie until it breaks
Sorry and diligent
Sift through bones finding mistakes
Apologize and bury us deep
Punished to stir in our sleep

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 is the only Hot Snakes song John Reis sings lead vocals on. Not that I'm complaining, but it sounds more RFTC than Hot Snakes... odd choice.
