Cocaine Lyrics

Read a letter from you today,
In short it said that you've been so far away,
It said where you've been, what's been on your mind,
It makes you feel so much better when there's something to hide,
You're shifting blame again,

Lie to yourself about it,
Pretend your life is sane,
Basking in faded glory,
The world forgets your name,

Move on from there, get up and go on,
Wait any longer you'll be stuck where you are,
Leave all your things, clean up your face,
The scars of the past are the dust that remain in the way,
Stop shifting blame again,

Lie to yourself about it,
Pretend your life is sane,
Basking in faded glory,
The world forgets your name,

How could it be that you sunk down so low?
Word around town is you got no place to go,
Your story's got a crack and you got no one to follow,
I couldn't care less,

Lie to yourself about it,
Pretend your life is sane,
Basking in faded glory,
The world forgets your name,

Cry to yourself about it,
Drive all your friends insane,
You failed to prove your story,
I will forget your name.

Read a letter from you today,
In short it said that you've been so far away,
It said where you've been, what's been on your mind,
It makes you feel so much better when there's something to hide,
You're shifting blame again,

Lie to yourself about it,
Pretend your life is sane,
Basking in faded glory,
The world forgets your name,

Move on from there, get up and go on,
Wait any longer you'll be stuck where you are,
Leave all your things, clean up your face,
The scars of the past are the dust that remain in the way,
Stop shifting blame again,

Lie to yourself about it,
Pretend your life is sane,
Basking in faded glory,
The world forgets your name,

How could it be that you sunk down so low?
Word around town is you got no place to go,
Your story's got a crack and you got no one to follow,
I couldn't care less,

Lie to yourself about it,
Pretend your life is sane,
Basking in faded glory,
The world forgets your name,

Cry to yourself about it,
Drive all your friends insane,
You failed to prove your story,
I will forget your name.

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.
