The Boys Who Died in Their Sleep Lyrics

Someone has to pay for this
Someone's gotta pay the bills
I can't even look in the mirror
Oh baby would you get my pills?
I need a xanny and a vicodin
A percocet and valium
Anything to take the edge away
I travel through the light in the ceiling and everything goes away
I look inside my mind and dream
About the worlds inside my eyes
I look inside my mind and dream
About the worlds inside my eyelids

I know of a place inside my mind where I can fly!
(Take another pill! take another pill!
Take another pill right on no [?])
I know of a place inside myself where I can be!
(Take another pill! take another pill!
Take another pill right on no [?])
I know of a place inside my mind where I am free!
(Take another pill! take another pill!
Take another pill right on no [?])

I know of a place inside my mind where I can fly!

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.
