Barely Bit Me Lyrics

Barely bit me
Sin has always found a way to stay
the poison trials anyway
Barely bit me
Sin has always found a way to make the saints obey
It's hardly hurting
It's only odd because in some way I've seen this place
It's hardly hurting
It's only odd because in some way I've seen this play out so many ways
I wanted mercy
I wanted proof, like you, that all my chains could break away
It's all frightening, its better off this way
The path appropriate is no longer in the way
Okay it's hit me
The Serpent's Garden overgrown in me
A prophecy
A wanton mercy
A wanted thief
Mother I noticed
One of the men on the cross was allowed to come down
Allowed to come down
Mother I noticed
One of the men on the cross was allowed to come down
Allowed to come down

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.

Amazing song, and I love the ending-- it seems like a reflection of his childhood as the fear of the inevitable punishment finally seeps in... you can almost see his emotional state crawling into a fetal position...
