Dead Reckoning Lyrics

Shambling like a walking corpse living, but not quite alive you return again and again to the sites once occupied in life you're just a ghost you're just a ghost of the past you are condemned condemned to repeat your actions you're just a shadow that leaves no trace trapped in an endless pattern conditioned to accept your fate your mind is dulled your body propelled forward you're held in thrall to perform the bidding of your masters the body moves but the heart no longer beats cold as the deepest ocean, blood freezes in your veins trapped inside a failing body you are a mindless slave all feeling has been forgotten it's all rotten away someone's pulling at your strings so pull back you aren't holding your own reins so break them

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.
