A Simple Reminder Lyrics

Hoping to scratch him. As we bleed to death. As we have a shepherd we do not want. I run on a treadmill that never stops. My reflection in the wading pool is dirty, and I'm sickened. It hurts. I'm sick of repetition. An illness, spreading. Blinding my eyes. Erase my thoughts. Cancel my subscription to the things of this world. In heopen eyesof delivereance. I'm color blind. Waiting to see. Wanting to finally say no and walk away with a smile. Time after time my call is game over; But again and again this cancer spreads. Bleeding and spitting guilt and convictions. As Ilay in this pit of defeat... (Once again to strive.) To beat itout over and over. So worn. I will defeat this. Workedover. With intention to kill. To watch Him die and smile. At His dismay. His pain. My deliverance. My cleanliness a giftof freedom. My walk purified. My peace given by God.

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.

umm...those aren't the lyrics?

Erase my thoughts Cancel my subscription To the things of this world I open eyes of deliverance I'm color blind waiting to see Want to finally say no And walk away with a smile Time after time my call is game over But again and again this cancer spread Bleeding and spitting guilt and convictions As I lay in this pit, pit of defeat Pit of defeat Time after time my call is game over But again and again my cancer spread Bleeding and spitting guilt and convictions As I lay in this pit, pit of defeat Once again to try to beat it out Over and over again So worn To watch Him die and smile At His dismay His pain my deliverance My cleanliness a gift of freedom My walk purified My peace given by God Erase my thoughts Cancel my subscription To the things of this world I open eyes of deliverance I'm color blind.

Yeah, you're right. Killer song. I like to read the poetry behind the lyrics because it's profound. Most Zao is not too verbally distinct so alot of folks don't realize the poignancy of it. Heard some funny comments from easy listeners in the past who jus don't get it
