one in one Lyrics

there's one thing that I can't cheat
this dull grey aura of defeat
boredom chokes me all the same
sins are stubborn wriggling in my brain
nervous shakes all the time
sickness radiates from me
waking up in a fog
loose ends tied up in fantasy
I can't think, been sober my whole life
(but not tonight)
I can't think, troubles pile up inside
drink to obliterate tonight
and so my partner in depression serves to bestow a bitter lesson
tonight we drink to take that drive
tomorrow's just if we survive
"usually I'm not like this"
(car tires screech, I clench my fists)
"I'm a peacful man," he said
"I'm only want to kill my head"
I can't think, been sobered my whole life
but not tonight
and tomorrow comes just in time
but not tonight

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.
