Blacken My Thumb Lyrics

This is the last time I'll see your smile
And it seems like heaven, so divine
Of course you wonder, wonder why
So make it look good, then decide

Your team ends on back-up call
Is that the way the story ends completely
'Cause I sure ain't happy girl
Just because we said bittersweetly

Well I don't like it outta time
Well I don't really know I count in dimes
I guess you'll wonder, wonder why
So make it look good, then decide

And I know, I'll make it look good
And force a smile, smile

'Cause there's a new way I've just seen
Your sleep ain't looking on sweet belief
I guess you'll wonder, wonder why
So make it look good, then decide

Once again you've ridden me numb
Once again you've blackened my thumb
I guess you'll wonder, wonder why
So make it look good, then decide

And I know, I'll make it look good
And force a smile, smile hey

Call my chin, bite my tongue
Look at what, we've become
It's got me feeling so low
Got me feeling low

I'll make it look good
And force a smile, smile
Smile, smile
Smile, smile hey

Well you blacken my thumb
Blacken my thumb
Blacken my thumb

Blacken my thumb

Emperor's New Clothes

This is the last time I'll see your smile 
And it seems like heaven, so divine 
Of course you wonder, wonder why 
So make it look good, then decide

Your team ends on back-up call 
Is that the way the story ends completely 
'Cause I sure ain't happy girl 
Just because we said bittersweetly

Well I don't like it outta time 
Well I don't really know I count in dimes
I guess you'll wonder, wonder why 
So make it look good, then decide

And I know, I'll make it look good 
And force a smile, smile

'Cause there's a new way I've just seen 
Your sleep ain't looking on sweet belief 
I guess you'll wonder, wonder why 
So make it look good, then decide

Once again you've ridden me numb 
Once again you've blackened my thumb 
I guess you'll wonder, wonder why 
So make it look good, then decide

And I know, I'll make it look good 
And force a smile, smile hey

Call my chin, bite my tongue 
Look at what, we've become 
It's got me feeling so low 
Got me feeling low

I'll make it look good 
And force a smile, smile 
Smile, smile 
Smile, smile hey

Well you blacken my thumb 
Blacken my thumb 
Blacken my thumb

Blacken my thumb

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.

this song is about hashish...what else "blackens your thumb?"...and the forced smile...trying to trick your sadness with some fake smiles given to you by drugs...and I think there's some kind of girl here,too,probably the cause of his sadness...
