Tower of Snakes Lyrics

you told me no apologies but I'm sorry it couldn't cut the mustard and it's
absurd.
hey, you turned the light off, you gave me darkness.
you sucked the blood right out of life.
are you running away from me?
are you running away from you?
you showed me what I should see, but I'm still blind and I can't breathe.
you swallowed pride like someone died.
you chewed it up and spit it out but no one's to be found now.
are you running away from me?
are you running away from you?
hey, what are you running away from?
you told me what I should see, but I'm still blind and I can't breathe.
are you running away from me?
are you running away from you?

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.

\'cut the mustard\' is so dated, it is adorable. I wonder if someone had to look it up yet to see what it means. This an amazing song..... good times :D
