Stealing Time From the Faulty Plan Lyrics

Got a blank space where my mind should be
Got a Clif bar and some cold green tea
Got clouds that seem to follow me
Got stranger demands piled upon me
Got memories
Memories of being free

Gonna steal time from the faulty plan
Gonna act as though I'm still a man
Gonna give you one last chance to see
Gonna shrug demands off of me
Gonna dream
Dream of being free

Gonna steal time from the faulty plan
Got a blank space where my mind should be

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.

I think this song has to do when trey was in trouble? Being in trouble once or twice in my life you have a "blank space where your mind should be" and I was always drinking green tea before pee tests. When i was on house arrest i always dreamt of being free and although life was demanding at the time, i had to act as if i was still a man, even though i felt very weak. love this song.
