Our Sentence Is Up Lyrics

I smell a thousand suns unfolding in the sky
They beckon me higher, up through the chasm I fly
I bleed inhibitions, puke out my will to exist
I become seamless, defined by the motion of this

I am, what I'm not
I am, what I'm not

A god is a mythos, dreamt up together in sleep
He's sprung from a vision, a wolf mingling with his sheep
Suck out the poison, spit in the face of the bland
I become seamless, grasp with my sweat shaky hand

I am, what I'm not
I am, what I'm not
I am, what I'm not
I am, what I'm not

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.
