Soil, Silt, And Clay Lyrics

(Concept: A love poem written in the back of a cold, gray spaceship.)

All that I am, dances for you.
My heart and my bones agree you are the reason.
I want to build you a beautiful life.
Walk with me to the end?
I'll tear my heart out
I'll tear my heart out.

Up from the mud you have pulled me.
Given me all that I've asked.
I would have drowned, but you're here now.
A warm bright sun while this winter it feasts on my soul.
Swallows me whole
But I've got you.

I sit quietly upstairs and revel in the
Impact you've made on me.
You are the reason
That I even try or hope at all.
Knowing that you'll be there when
I tear my heart out.
I'll tear my heart out.

Up from the mud you have pulled me!
Given me all that I've asked.
I would have drowned, but you're here now.
A warm bright sun while this winter it feasts on my soul.
Swallows me whole.
It feasts on my soul.
Swallows me whole.

It feasts on my soul!
It feasts on my soul!

But I've got you.

I'm lost in the woods
Of innocent wrong.
I know that you'll be there when
I tear my heart out.
I'll tear my heart out.

(Concept: A love poem written in the back of a cold, gray spaceship.)

All that I am, dances for you.
My heart and my bones agree you are the reason.
I want to build you a beautiful life.
Walk with me to the end?
I'll tear my heart out
I'll tear my heart out.

Up from the mud you have pulled me.
Given me all that I've asked.
I would have drowned, but you're here now.
A warm bright sun while this winter it feasts on my soul.
Swallows me whole
But I've got you.

I sit quietly upstairs and revel in the 
Impact you've made on me.
You are the reason 
That I even try or hope at all.
Knowing that you'll be there when
I tear my heart out.
I'll tear my heart out.

Up from the mud you have pulled me!
Given me all that I've asked.
I would have drowned, but you're here now.
A warm bright sun while this winter it feasts on my soul.
Swallows me whole.
It feasts on my soul.
Swallows me whole.

It feasts on my soul!
It feasts on my soul!

But I've got you.

I'm lost in the woods
Of innocent wrong.
I know that you'll be there when
I tear my heart out.
I'll tear my heart out.

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.
