Give Them a Show Lyrics

Black and grey crawling under my skin
Push away all the lighting within
Away
Take my mind on a personal trip
Can't escape
Hope beginning to slip away
It's cold or at least i have been told
Not gonna go like i'm something they can own
I'm gonna give them a show
Drop their jaws to the ground
See who's running this now
They'll know
That revenge in a fighter
Is not a thing you can hold
Shaky hands start a quake in the ground
Beads of sweat falling don't make a sound
Oh no
Howling winds like a fire ascend
Screech the words like a violin "games begin"
It's cold or at least i have been told
Playing for gold or the lives of broken souls
I'm gonna give them a show
Drop their jaws to the ground
See who's running this now
They'll know
That revenge in a fighter
Is not a thing you can hold
Not a thing you can hold
If the chains gonna stay then the legs gonna break
If you see it you'll know
I'm gonna give them a show
Drop their jaws to the ground
See who's running this now
They'll know
That revenge in a fighter
Is not a thing you can hold

Black and grey crawling under my skin
Push away all the lighting within
Away
Take my mind on a personal trip
Can't escape
Hope beginning to slip away
It's cold or at least i have been told
Not gonna go like i'm something they can own
I'm gonna give them a show
Drop their jaws to the ground
See who's running this now
They'll know
That revenge in a fighter
Is not a thing you can hold
Shaky hands start a quake in the ground
Beads of sweat falling don't make a sound
Oh no
Howling winds like a fire ascend
Screech the words like a violin "games begin"
It's cold or at least i have been told
Playing for gold or the lives of broken souls
I'm gonna give them a show 
Drop their jaws to the ground
See who's running this now
They'll know
That revenge in a fighter
Is not a thing you can hold
Not a thing you can hold
If the chains gonna stay then the legs gonna break
If you see it you'll know
I'm gonna give them a show
Drop their jaws to the ground
See who's running this now
They'll know
That revenge in a fighter
Is not a thing you can hold

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.
