Truth Lyrics

Blood and Dust have changed all the colors in my mind
Black has made me see,
but the truth has made me blind
to the fears, to the lies
they were here, all the time
In your sympathetic sunday nights, I don't belong
until all the hate that lines the face of my enemy is gone
all the fear , all the lies
they were here all the time
The life of new york city talks
spinning dust on sidewalks
pictures soaked in gasoline
twisted through the steel and concrete
the smoke has cleared but I can't breath
New Days in prison
for the souls that have lost hope
I've been tied to chains close to the ones that need it most
all the fears, all the lies
they were here all the time
The life of new york city talks
spinning dust on sidewalks
pictures soaked in gasoline
twisted through the steel and concrete
the smoke has cleared but I can't breath
The life of new york city talks
spinning dust on sidewalks
pictures soaked in gasoline
twisted through the steel and concrete(x3)
the smoke has cleared but I can't breath

Blood and Dust have changed all the colors in my mind 
Black has made me see, 
but the truth has made me blind 
to the fears, to the lies 
they were here, all the time 
In your sympathetic sunday nights, I don't belong 
until all the hate that lines the face of my enemy is gone 
all the fear , all the lies 
they were here all the time 
The life of new york city talks 
spinning dust on sidewalks 
pictures soaked in gasoline 
twisted through the steel and concrete 
the smoke has cleared but I can't breath 
New Days in prison 
for the souls that have lost hope 
I've been tied to chains close to the ones that need it most 
all the fears, all the lies 
they were here all the time 
The life of new york city talks 
spinning dust on sidewalks 
pictures soaked in gasoline 
twisted through the steel and concrete 
the smoke has cleared but I can't breath 
The life of new york city talks 
spinning dust on sidewalks 
pictures soaked in gasoline 
twisted through the steel and concrete(x3) 
the smoke has cleared but I can't breath

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.
