Blame Lyrics

So he clenched the knob
As the sweat beaded around his brow
The footsteps were closer now
So he held his breath
Please God, let him pass by this door
Because if I'm found
I'll be back in the reverend's den
"What a bad boy you've been"
Said I can't be saved

So I ran away
I ran away, yeah
I ran away
I ran away

Blood of lamb
They marked him when he was young
Curse of the oldest son
Such a rotten seed
The leper, the liar, the fool
And I do believe
I've been crying out wolf all my life
Been telling lies
Just a devil, say

I run away
Run away, yeah
I run away
I run away

And he'd kill me
If the guilt wouldn't kill me first
And I'd kill him if I could

Windmills or stables
The scars of my pain
And I know I can never go back there again
I genuflect for a point of view
Well, what would you do?

Blame
You can feed it to yourself
Blame
You can feed it to yourself

Away
Away
Away
Away
The leper, the liar, the fool
Boy, you're just a slave
You can't make them do the things they say
You genuflect for a point of view
What would you do?
Away
Away

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.

Tim Kasher went to a Catholic high school. I think that gives a lot of insight into this song,
