Poison Lyrics

i watch you anxiously
you paint it celestial, you paint it serene
what do you want, what do you need?
a welcome mat
you get lazy, you get boring
you jump the track
and your birthday party tongue dripping
you'll summarize
travel the world ivy tripping
with no spotlight
i fill your plastic cup
i'm cooling in peacefulness
you dress it up
what do i want, what do i think
nobody hears
i take all the space i need
and my tears run clear
while your short-term memory's slipping
you'll improvise
travel the world ivy tripping
with no spotlight

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.
