Life Sentence / Twisted Ladder Lyrics

Crashing in on yourself
Full grown and lonely browsing spreads
Serving a life sentence on a twisted ladder

Who put the quotes around your entire life?

What a dull adult playground drawn out in digital chalk
Good graces with strangers and friendliness with squares
Suffering to explain yourselves in another language
Volunteering for nightmares

Who put the quotes around your entire life?

You framed your gait
Hung it from your neck like a loose noose
And within the aforementioned frame
You carry an impression of synchronization to impose upon your whole day

Who put the quotes around your entire life?

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.
