Desparate Attention Span Lyrics

Fold our sound. It’s in one ear and out the other. Self humiliation breaks its offer. Throw the towel when entering. Broken backs preserve equipment. Vocal sand emergency occupied by bolted arms. Point down until thumbs reach the ground. The sacrifice doesn’t quite match the reward. We grace the grave. We go in vain. We dust our threads off. Follow the patrons out the door because I myself can’t stand watching ourselves die for the promises that we had. Integral outing I couldn’t make because I had people to please. How was your weekend? How was the party? I’ll make it one of these days. Until then count me out. I’m pulling out of putting up with this shit. Is it too much to ask for one of these days to follow its script? If the palms of my hands meet will that be enough for someone to listen for a while?

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.
