Slave Lyrics

How long can you feel this way?
You got to give in to your fears some day
You can't expect me to understand
a promise made and then thrown away

I won't be your servant
but I will be your slave
I think that you deserve it
Only finding our way
We'll take some time to work it out
We'll take some time
to slow things down

How steep is the hil to climb?
The road is dark, and I"m falling behind
Of all the places I've followed you
in your arms is like home to me now

I won't be your servant
but I will be your slave
I think that you deserve it
Only finding our way
We'll take some time to work it out
We'll take some time
to slow things down

I won't be your servant
but I will be your slave
How long can you feel OK?
You got to admit that this day to day
is like a stillborn photograph
where nothing moves
or feels enough to say...

I won't be your servant
but I will be your slave
I think that you deserve it
Only finding our way
We'll take some time to work it out
We'll take some time
to slow things down
slow things down

You got to give in to your fears some day
You can't expect me to understand

I won't be your servant
but I will be your slave
I think that you deserve it 
Only finding our way
We'll take some time to work it out
We'll take some time

How steep is the hil to climb?
The road is dark, and I"m falling behind
Of all the places I've followed you

I won't be your servant

We'll take some time

I won't be your servant

How long can you feel OK?
You got to admit that this day to day

I won't be your servant

I think that you deserve it 
Only finding our way
We'll take some time to work it out
We'll take some time
to slow things down
slow things down

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.
