First Song Lyrics

i've found a way
beyond the dark
filthy and humble
hands strike the spark
from cardboard cones
through screen door squares
my pockets of smoke
roll down the stairs
long braids of leaves
printed on knees
we fought through slep
those wars were sweet
i've fed my lines
blank gutted words
our shadows running
filled up with thirst
i found a way
the curtains part
failed song sung loudly
through holes in hearts
and i can't tilll why i'm sure
i am poisoned and i'm pure
these secrets we all share
keep our breath inside the air
the fint might slip
and streams could stall
a twisted compass
still finds the dawn
i found a way
beyond the dark
failed songs sung loudly
through holes in hearts

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.
