I'm Unbecome Lyrics

I'm unbecome, I cease to be
You are the mirror reflecting me

I'm unbecome, I atomise
You are the warm air 'neath my lark rise

Oh what's to be done?
I'm now a cinder where once I was the sun
Now you're not here, I'm unbecome

I'm unbecome, I melt away
You are the morning of everyday

Oh what's to be done?
I'm now a stumbler where once I'd skip and run
Now you're not here, I'm unbecome

I've forgotten how to smile and laugh
and I won't show up on your photograph

I'm unbecome, I dissipate
You are the fresh bread upon my plate

Oh what's to be done?
My heart was cloud light but now it weighs a ton
Now you're not here I'm unbecome
Now you're not here I'm unbecome

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.
