Cinderblock Lyrics

The weight of this town is cloudy
as if it's been raining
and this sunny city life is held in empty hands
and the pacific is looking so wonderful tonight
with a cinderblock and rope tied to my ankle.
It's closer than this
*twelve pack of medicine
Impairing a mind to the life I'm living in
**I'm all alone and you're out of luck
and I've given up what I've been fighting
So close your eyes and make believe I'm there
V2
The hits have all come back now
as if they have been waiting
For indifference to settle itself into my soul
and the skyline is looking so wonderful tonight
Under stars I fall forgetting, that there is a bed I'll never make
* Without you sleeping next to me
giving just enough room left to breathe one more day
**
***My lonely, ill fated, dream of live I've lived to hate by now..
It's your somehow
****I can fall asleep and belive it,
I can understand and know it
I can close my eyes and say it's over... It's over

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.
