Deep Sleep Lyrics

To deep sleep
I know now everything ain't free
As I rummage through an old phonebook deciphering names
that were carved on the Paupack peaks
Remember me?
Remember May 2003?

When we were hopeless
We were doomed by our pending defeats
You drank Jack and I'd drink anything that's free
I wonder what your old man thinks of us now
Slowly setting sons?

I don't want to wait for things to get better
Pull your car over

Break your friends and save yourself
Like you told me forever ago

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.

Being young and optimistic, then growing up and realizing its tougher than you thought to advance yourself farther then your father, thus feeling sorta null and void. Being as shitty or shittier than your old friends. Your dads advice was right? The world is a struggle?
