I Can't Get Out Lyrics

And in this drought of feeling I have known,
I stop and make my home
Oh, but you could never see,
How dark a mind can be

I can't get out
I can't get out
I scream, I shout,
But I can't get out

And I'd have you turn to gaze inside me,
So you can learn of my hypocrisy
And understand how I can't even care,
About all the things that I have been
And all the things that I have seen
And all the things I think I need
And Love's cruel knife that made me bleed
And my retreat in stupid songs
The longest night and coldest dawn
And bitter truths and noble wrongs
The laugh of God as I was born
The bitterness of holding on
The moment I knew that it was done, and

I can't get out
I can't get out
I scream, I shout,
But I can't get out

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.
