This Is a Forgery [*] Lyrics

This is a forgery, this is a forgery
Every single word is plagiarized
Copied twice and thrice inscribed
This is a forgery
There is a path

And to get where its leading
You've got to be sharp and never bend easy
This is an enemy, this is an enemy
Compliments and chemistry

Cavalier and so charming
This isn't everything, this isn't everything
I had a fit and you had a feeling
There was a path, and to get where its leading

You head to be sharp, you couldn't swerve side to side
I was a razor and you were a straight line
This is a travesty, this is a travesty
Every sentiment has been contrived

Palatable and so refined Sugar sweet to appetize
I had a fit and you had a feeling
There was a path and to get where its leading
You head to be sharp, you couldn't swerve from side to side

I was a razor and you were a straight line
This is a forgery, this is a forgery
Every single word is plagiarized
Copied twice and thrice inscribed

This is a forgery And we were looking out, for some shining light
But it was casket black, so we would search all night

This is a forgery, this is a forgery
Every single word is plagiarized
Copied twice and thrice inscribed
This is a forgery 
There is a path

And to get where its leading 
You've got to be sharp and never bend easy
This is an enemy, this is an enemy
Compliments and chemistry

Cavalier and so charming
This isn't everything, this isn't everything 
I had a fit and you had a feeling
There was a path, and to get where its leading

You head to be sharp, you couldn't swerve side to side 
I was a razor and you were a straight line
This is a travesty, this is a travesty
Every sentiment has been contrived

Palatable and so refined Sugar sweet to appetize
I had a fit and you had a feeling 
There was a path and to get where its leading 
You head to be sharp, you couldn't swerve from side to side

I was a razor and you were a straight line
This is a forgery, this is a forgery
Every single word is plagiarized 
Copied twice and thrice inscribed

This is a forgery And we were looking out, for some shining light 
But it was casket black, so we would search all night

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.
