Transparent Lyrics

The city splits,
imperfections high as mountains block my view of you.
Forget your past,
as I only wanted you to love me too,
me too.

I move alone
'till another mistake,
embrace what cold is.
(You can stretch, stretch yourself thin.
When will this end?
You're on your own.)

Lose it to the guys
you think you need,
oh baby, please, you've got a disease.
I suspect that I am being replaced,
I guess it's just a part of your game.

Wipe this half-hearted look off your face,
because I can't live this way.

I try to catch my breath,
take one step to my death.
Help me,
take one step to my death.

Every day
that goes past without your face,
and all I want is out of reach,
oh, I can't reach.

You took this all from me,
now I want it back.
That was your chance,
now you are gone for good

Come on, come on,
you know all of my regret is yours for the taking.
Come on, come on,
lets see if you're worth your weight in gold.

The streets run red with clients you left for dead
Did they still get their bill?
Now I watch your life descend to hell.

Come on, come on,
I'm stepping up to the plate,
I'm yours for the taking.
Come on, come on,
I'm stepping up to the plate.

Forget our past,
as I only wanted you to move on too,
no one needs you to move on.

I'm moving on, I'm moving on,
I cant live this way.
That was your chance

I'm setting sail... and there's nothing that I cant reach
With no plot and direction
Reach...
Savor this moment tomorrow is long...

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.

id like to make a couple of corrections that i hear

in the first bit i think its 'you can stretch, stretch yourself thin when will this end, you're on your own'

then in the next part, instead of come on, come on lets see if youre worth your waiting i think its 'come on come on lets see if you're worth your weight in gold'

then the part directly after that i hear ' the streets run red with .... now i watch your life decend into hell'

i hoped that helped, this is my fav from them btw, the awesomest song out!!!

nah nah man its "you get tricked, stretch yourself thin"

and yea its "weight IN gold" not OF

then in the beginning its "the city splits"

then in "oh baby please, you've got a disease" i dont hear an s on the end of that, ive done alot of dictionary searchin to find a word to fit what im sure im hearin, dissain isnt a real word, and i ended with the word dissave- which means to use savings for current expenses- which i think goes with the message ebin portrayedso the line would go "oh baby please, you gotta dissave"

then "embrace what cold is" i believe its "embrace what could be" or else it wouldnt rhyme wit that next verse where dissave is the last word

the last "i can live this way" is "can't"

ive spent alot of f'in time tryin to figure out these lyrics, i even messaged the band for the official ones, they said its in the book wit the actual cd, ive been usin torrents for i donno how many years now, havnt paid a red cent for music in a long time, but this is is my fav song off the album too and its been buggin the shit out of me for the past week not know what hes syain....so here u go....
