I Cry Lyrics

Oh how I love to feel the blade
Of self-inflicted pain
Yet I long to dwell in purity
My desire is for light to overcome my hate
Yet I play a whore to darkness and remain unclean

Let the hills hear my voice
As I shout out my plea
Let your perfect love pour over me

And I cry for the rain to fall
And I pray that it drowns my soul
Take my pain, I give it all
I cry

All my sins have found me out
And you will know me by the mark upon my brow
I am the killer free to roam
Adulterer that casts the stone
I am desolate due to the life I chose

I am a servant of love
And yet a lover to sin
I’ll do it over again and over again
I’ve done it again

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.

It's about wanting and needing the Grace of God.

Wow this song is powerful, and I just feel the same, that whenever I mess up, I have God, who will send the Rain to flood my Soul.

I've seen these guys in concert, and their amazing!

This song is about a person being torn. They wants so badly to be good, but they feel like the skeletons in their closets are holding them back, and they feel like a "killer free to roam", and they feel stuck that way.

I love the metaphore at the beginning.... (it almost scared me away, this being their first song I heard) ... at first, I was like, "oh, no... a song about the wonders of cutting" ...but when I kept listening, I realized that this is an amazing song (and the video was really well made, too) Sin is self-inflicted pain. Sometimes when we do stuff we think is fun, we don't realize that all we're doing is hurting ourself. Those first lines are really brave.
