The Death Sedative Lyrics

No need for safety,
No need for highlights,
No need for safety,
No need for...

No need for safety,
No need for highlights,
No need for safety,
To feel contempt.

No need for safety,
No need for highlights,
No need for safety,
No need for...

No need for safety,
No need for highlights,
No need for safety,
To feel contempt.

You pray for a lifetime,
Always calling for a saviour,
Freedom is a sparkling magnet,
Cursed by addictions.

Where to go and hide? ...You've been crazy,
Jesus, you are our restoration

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.

Well, that's my best attempt to decipher the end bit.

It makes sense of the sleeve note for the song, which just reads '...A Heroin Lullaby.' It would seem (assuming my lyrics are right - if anyone has any corrections please feel free to help out) that the song is about the world (in the Biblical sense of the word) and it's many addictions that distract us and pull us away from relationship with God, and finishes by reminding us that we all need Jesus as none of these things will satisfy us.
