Lion's Share Lyrics

all he sees are death masked stars the lion's world is cold and sharp all he wants is much too far so he stalks thw roads of token cars- he snarls at winds that mean no harm and takes the thorns in perfect form a broken ideal rides inside the torture lion's denim hide i want the lion's share gather up the broeken chairs feed my mind unholy tests do me in i need to rest he sleep swhen nothing's in the air eats the scraps of some that care he strains the right to overbear secrest hidden in the liar- pauses long enough to dream nightmares push the glowing scream his shadowed eyes show the toll something only lions know

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.
