This Small Disaster Lyrics

thieves they stole my pen and my roll of stamps
I’ll take my bet on two and while snake eyes land
still dying I’m trying but each time feels like those minefields we mistook them for props
and susan I’m losing but those hills are over valleys over mountaintops
quiz me this small disaster needs but small relief
quiz me this small disaster needs such small relief
thieves they stole my phone so I won’t answer it
i’ll take my hands to you cause now you don’t stick
still dying I’m trying but even flowers will take hours with an air force jet
now susan I’m losing and there are fires in the hills of northern quebec
quiz me this small disaster needs but small relief
quiz me this small disaster needs such small relief

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.
