Small Mercies, Sweet Graves Lyrics

Small mercies, sweet graves
You're alone and afraid
You're bloody and broken
Your mind half deranged

But you're with the worms now, and they sing:
Small mercies, sweet graves

Small mercies, sweet graves
Your skin's turning grey
The dirt's a little warmer
Down where you lay

If you see my lover, just sing:
Small mercies, sweet graves

Small mercies, sweet graves
I know we'll never part
Can I crawl inside you?
Rest my head on your heart

And with the dust as our chorus, we'll sing:
Small mercies, sweet graves

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.
