Born Dead Lyrics

I can feel the ache and
I can feel it breaking
One hand on the head
One hand on the bed

Breathing in the blankness
Breathing in the blank shots
One hand on the head
One hand on the bed

I can't focus on the haze
I'm still choking on the craving
Waiting for the only sound
I haven't heard

Hoping this is as low
As we can get
Wading in the images
We're soon to forget

And I may be out of it
But I'm still into you
I'm born dead, I'm born again
I can feel the ache and
I can feel it breaking

Come towards the call
With no poison crawling
Absorb absorb absorb
Shut down
No short lines and
Only short lies
Count them backwards
In four words
Or less or more

I can't focus on the haze
I'm still choking on the craving
Waiting for the only sound
I haven't heard

Hoping this is as low
As we can get
Wading in the images
We're soon to forget

I may be out of it
But I'm still into you
I'm born dead, I'm born again
I can feel the ache and
I can feel it breaking

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.

I may be out of it, but I'm still into you.

It's like no matter what happens, good or bad, that other person will always be there. Anyway, that's the only sense I make out of it. The lyrics are pretty ridiculous.
