Futility Engine Lyrics

I'm sick
So sick of this
And all the little things I miss
And if I had a car,
I'd crash it in my lack of interest
So let me just desist
Call it plain oblivious
Suffer all that bliss, yeah
I'd do anything for this

And every time
I think I find
A gear to twist
I'm set in the cement
And every time
I stop unwind
I get this little sty goad
On the eye of my intent

(One point on this)
I'm sick
Sick of this
So sick of this

Alright
I guess it's trite
And in my comfy satellite
Fight with all my might
But I'll be back tomorrow night
So let me get it right
Subtlety is too polite
And in this shady light
Everything's still black and right

And every time
I think I find
A time to rest
I atrophy instead
And every time
I stop unwind
I still can't make it clear
And so I waste away my time
Waste away my time
(Your ass is mine)

I'm sick
Sick of this
Sick of this

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.

Thank you for these lyrics. If you want to listen to this song (which is on Appendices, a collection of unreleased material that Damian Kulash made in his college days), it's on Youtube along with Fuzz, an early version of We Dug a Hole. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WDf9f2LdDg
