An Insomniac's Complexion Lyrics

lights from your cigarettes. fumes from empty glasses. plastic faces. lights from your cigarettes. blank silhouettes. left-handed compliments from sincere exteriors. i fall easily for charm. scream to me. you always know what i want to hear. scream to me. you always know. i'll place my head between my knees. cover my ears and brace myself. build me up so tall. shock me with your revelations. isn't this what you always wanted? isn't it? my only comfort is the fall. to watch myself crash and crumble. lights from your cigarettes. fumes from empty glasses. they're here. shows over, go home.

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.
