Currency of Cynics Lyrics

You glorify what is overrated
I'm peeling off the damaged film in layers
In my disposition to ignore what is real
Too dangerous and close to home

[Chorus]
But on the ground awareness lies
Between small change and swarming flies
And if you choose not to bow down
You'll fail to notice what's coming around

The cornerstone of your comfort is sedation
I'm paying off the guilt in a currency of cynics
In my disposition to ignore what is real
Too dangerous and close to home

[Chorus]

In my disposition to ignore what is real
Too dangerous and close to home

[Chorus]

Fail to notice what's coming around

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.
