Swear to Your Face Lyrics

left in the hands of desperate fortune
my father rides the rail away from me
hiding in the corner of your affluence
stand like a statue, but far away from me

hiding in (?) the company of acrobats
abandon shape only on your command
driving all the things you that you say
things that i won't hear
to overcome the obligations just the way you planned

oh but i
swear to your face
this will be the last time
the last time i let you get away with it
right before my eyes
and i will speak the word
the one that i never could before
yeah i will speak it
right
into your eyes

father,
don't you see my spirit
right inside
father,
don't you see my spirit
lodged inside your soul
as you make the rounds
of any disappointed fool

father,
so deliver me
your temperature grows cold
but i will not buckle under
and i will not follow through

oh but i
swear to your face
this will be the last time
i let you get away with it
right before my eyes
and i will speak the word
the one i never could before
yeah i will speak it
right
into your eyes

my father rides the rail away from me
hiding in the corner of your affluence 
stand like a statue, but far away from me

hiding in (?) the company of acrobats
abandon shape only on your command 
driving all the things you that you say
things that i won't hear
to overcome the obligations  just the way you planned

oh but i 
swear to your face
this will be the last time
the last time i let you get away with it
right before my eyes
and i will speak the word
the one that i never could before
yeah i will speak it

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.
