Rations Lyrics

someone take the pulse of my heart; is it beating?
'cause i'm afraid it's rarely been used and i've been confused and hungry
i've been thinking about the way you said things could be if i
drop my disguise, uncover my eyes, and see you love
and fiercely clutching me is a life i've tried to flee
but i'm still at home, i'm still alone
'cause i've embraced myself
and now fiercely after you
i'll trembling ask of you
destroy all that i've held until all i have to hold is you

i'm handing you the rest of my heart for your shaping
but still i'm afraid of what it'll take for my hands to break forever
i've been thinking about the way you said things could be if i
drop my disguise, uncover my eyes and see you love
and fiercely clutching me is a life i've tried to flee
but i'm still at home, i'm still alone
'cause i've embraced myself
and now fiercely after you
i'll trembling ask of you
destroy all that i've held until all i have to hold is you

i've been thinking about the way you said things could be if i
drop my disguise, uncover my eyes and see you love

i took the rations of the surface
i'm not satisfied
drag me deep enough to taste
starving inside
i'm starving inside
starving inside
i'm starving inside
and fiercely clutching me is a life i've tried to flee
but i'm still at home, i'm still alone
'cause i've embraced myself
and now fiercely after you
i'll trembling ask of you
destroy all that i've held until all i have to hold is you
still i'm afraid

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.
