Lie Captive Lyrics

Woven captive in my words
Keep still, keep quiet
You are not the truth
I feel you like a fucking dagger
There has never been a worse time

It's just like me to burn alive
I would never let you know
But I've run pens dry for you
Words into pages
Pages into hours
So hold me still in my contempt
Alone in my own burden

Keep still, keep quiet
You are not my truth
There has never been a worse time

It's just like me to burn alive
I would never let you know
You are not truth
You are solitude

Every page of every wasted hour will be set to flame
Because I always knew you would lie
Every page, every wasted hour, set to flame
Because you lied
This time you lied to me

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.

died*? yeah "in the early morning hours of june 13th, 2002 while traveling in interstate 20 in Alabama, Compromise was struck from behind by another vehicle. Two of the members of the band. Jordan Wodehouse and Daniel Langlois, were lost in the crash. They will never be forgotten." - For you (an album dedicated to jordan and daniel) misery signals albums were also dedicated to them so thats why the lyrics may sound like someone had died..

this one doesn't even sound like someone died. i haven't heard it yet, but reading thru the lyrics it doesn't say anything about anyone dying. unless "died*" means that "lied" at the end should be replaced.
