Rest Lyrics

I've strung myself out, again
Wearing myself thin as I can
With just enough rest to get by

With every ounce of myself
I've spread out so far I can't see what I've become
And I see clearer in here
Finer and fonder things whispering to me
I'm alive

All started over and over
The same thing is beating inside
And it passes on me, the small things
Look back on me, saying things to show me
I'm in with the bucket, I tripped into a hole
And now I am fallen
Pretty good view of what it looks like
Seems like it's been days but I'm alive

With every ounce of myself
I've spread out so far I can't see what I've become
And I see clearer in here
Finer and fonder things whispering to me
I'm alive

I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

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.
