A Tale of Two Cities Lyrics

we've been abandoned. yeah, we've been left behind. red hot daggers in our conscious through the long cold night. are we growing ugly? are we wasting time? tell me your truth, kid. i'll tell you mine. i've crawled through obscurity to find the heavy burden of a wasted life. go north. endure the pain in your burning young mind. through the broken backs in the sands of time you've been recalled to life. we are the bright lights in these dark times. thoughts like razors in our conscious through the long cold night. lonely and wide eyed. we won't be sleeping tonight. get broken. regenerate. resurrect. is your city still sick? are you still desperate? get broken. regenerate. resurrect. prepare your heart for what lies ahead.

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.
