Chasm and Cross Lyrics

I'm coming down today
Jesus, he told me
You've got to make her stay
Then he sold me
A mercury cross
And a picture frame
A thought that I'd lost
And another man's shame

Can you give me more?
To fill me up or make me whole
To understand what's in my heart
So can you take me there?
A place where no one ever needs
And no one bites the hand that feeds
There's no divorce, there's no disease
Jesus can you take me?

So, can you, take me?
So, can you, take me?

And I, well, I seem to make mistakes
I, I guess it's just the price that we pay
I, I only want to be let in
But you, somehow, somehow, you call this living

So take away what hurts
Forget my song, forget my joy
Forget the things that you employ
Just treat me like a little boy
Forget my song, forget my joy
Forget the things that you employ
Could you treat me like a little boy?
It's always I
I said, I
Said, I
Yeah, it's never you, no
Never you, no no no no no, yeah yeah
It's always I

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.
