Carbon Heart Radio Lyrics

i wear my heart on my record sleeve/
for the toes I’ve crushed, no apologies/
what I’m sweating over is all that counts/
there’s bigger things than my rent for this couch/
I’m talking loss, I’m talking poetry/
not just a quest for celebrity/
don’t trust me until I’m comfortable because I will stab your heart if it’s profitable/
I’m saying, “girl, your crying has got me so inspired, but can you keep it down so I can hear the amplifier over you?”/
if I could I wouldn’t sign my name/
oh shit, darling, you’re still in the frame/
I’m built to rage against obscurity and I need no more company/
Xerox in stereo/
carbon heart radio/
a love letter I stole, and rewrote/
still, I mean it so/
change clothes so I can find a hit/
no soul, no style combined with it/
all bullshit, phony sentiment/
success will mean I found a fit/
I’m saying, “girl, those tears are so damn beautiful”

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.
