DMT Lyrics

Emerald front lawn
Comforting like a blanket
Covering like a mold
Emerald front lawn blades
Cut a shape of what I was
I was soft, I was shy, and I was cold
See the sowing of awful seeds
That grow into awkward breeds
See the rain, see the torture rain
That keeps them inside of the steel
See the rain, see the torture rain from inside
You don't have to feel what you don't want to now

Emerald front lawn
Seems to me more like an island
I'd swim out but I can't
So I'll just become the island
Burning hot, I am the white of the sand
And you can walk all over me
Forming the shape of me
Along with chemicals, so I only feel half-right
Chemicals of the prescriptive kind
Chemicals my brain releases when I die
Will make me
See lies
See the rain, see the torture rain
That keeps them inside of the steel
See the rain, see the torture rain from inside
You don't have to feel what you don't want to now
What you don't want to now
What you don't want
You want to fit in to perfect straight skin
But your heart won't fold

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.
