I (Foundations Stand Still) Lyrics

Nails scratching at floorboards begging to stay
A pathetic attempt to break from the world
Stagnant in my own selfish love unreturned
Spending everyday praying for the end of a life
Just as shallow as the cowards I surround myself with

And it pounds away
Knowing that I bathe in inevitabilities just to fill this space
Knowing I would do anything for peace
Just a piece of the faith I can smell and see in you
Keep building skin of dust and stone
The kingdoms of my mind will learn to live to let go
Untouchable, you are untouchable
And I just wanna sleep

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.
