No Peace For The Wicked Lyrics

Why do I go through these deep emotional traumas
Why can’t I be like I always wanted to be, carefree
Why can’t I be happy like everybody else?

There’s no peace for the wicked
They say no peace for the wicked
Loud and clear, no peace for the wicked
The angels tell me
No peace for the wicked

Sitting at home, trying to forget the world outside
You’re on the phone telling me there’s no love inside me
What have I done to deserve this hostility?

There’s no peace for the wicked
They say no peace for the wicked
Loud and clear, no peace for the wicked
The angels tell me
No peace for the wicked

I’m in love with extreme mental torture
I’m in love with the way you hold ya head and cry
I’m in love with all these affairs of the heart

There’s no peace for the wicked
They say no peace for the wicked
Loud and clear, no peace for the wicked
The angels tell me
No peace for the wicked

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.

he's saying that because he thinks, and unlocks his inner thoughts, mainly the wicked ones, he is unable to connect with the everyday world and "be happy like everybody else."

Is it the games that he is playing with his significant other that crate "these affairs of the heart" or is the mental torture coming from something other than the relationship?

I think the source of the mental torture is somewhere else.
