A Happy Medium Lyrics

woke up again today
realised i hate myself
my face is a disease

i'm gonna need to find
a happy medium
to make my future look good

my body is a temple
and my hands and mouth are science
smoke till my mouth gets furry
then smoke some ugly more
let the juices flow
being alive right now is sore
everythings ok
i'm obviously unhappy
you can tell I'm losing it again
paper on the piano
credit in the red
i cant find my friends
walk the market aisles
looking for a girl
i asked out when i was 10
and i just don't fit in
too unfit for the gym
my youth is dead

woke up again today

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.
