For The Silent Lyrics

Its not much better than death
Giving up on everything
With every cynical breath
The air keeps thickening
This bite will our lungs
Till we spit it out proudly
And are you happy with what you've become?
Can you tell me loudly
whether you stand tall and raise your voice together
Let the youth stand tall to raise their voice together
Let the empire fall
The culprits tarred and feathered
Give it one last go before you give it up
All of the silent shout out to me
If you're not gone
All of the dormant rise up for me
Yeah only you can save us
Only you can save yourself
Can we revile in our lack of shame
We think it makes us better than
All the masses we forgot had names
And we are still all partying
As we all perform the global hysterectomy
The scars we form appear the very second we turn our backs on this old human race
All of the silent shout out to me
If you're not gone
All of the dormant rise up for me
Yeah only you can save us
Only you can save yourself
Shout out to me if you're not gone
Shout out to me if you're not gone
Let them hear you cross the distance
Let them know of your resistance

Its not much better than death
Giving up on everything 
With every cynical breath
The air keeps thickening 
This bite will our lungs
Till we spit it out proudly
And are you happy with what you've become?
Can you tell me loudly 
whether you stand tall and raise your voice together 
Let the youth stand tall to raise their voice together
Let the empire fall
The culprits tarred and feathered
Give it one last go before you give it up 
All of the silent shout out to me
If you're not gone
All of the dormant rise up for me
Yeah only you can save us
Only you can save yourself 
Can we revile in our lack of shame
We think it makes us better than
All the masses we forgot had names
And we are still all partying 
As we all perform the global hysterectomy
The scars we form appear the very second we turn our backs on this old human race
All of the silent shout out to me
If you're not gone
All of the dormant rise up for me
Yeah only you can save us
Only you can save yourself 
Shout out to me if you're not gone
Shout out to me if you're not gone
Let them hear you cross the distance
Let them know of your resistance

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.

I understand this song isn't one of their more popular jams. With that said, I still must ask if anyone caught the "global hysterectomy" bit? Being a med student it really jumped out to me. This song being a kind of Man vs. World "I give up" anthem; Maybe he's hinting towards a kind of genocide? Bringing an end to the human race that he has lost hope in by taking away the ability to procreate? Sounds... dark. Just a late night thought... thought I'd post to see if anyone cares.
