The Thing That's Killing Me Lyrics

The Devil is in the details
This story is one of betrayal

Ungrateful, unworthy
You are the undeserving
No honor, no valor
No fucking gratitude
You are the wrong that I must right

You are the thing that's killing me
You're poisoning

You are the thing that's killing me
Now I'm here to bury thee

Set fire to the empire
While growing fat off this world

Ungrateful, unworthy
You are the undeserving
No honor, no valor
No fucking gratitude
You are the wrong that I must right

You are the thing that's killing me
You're poisoning

You are the thing that's killing me
Now I'm here to bury thee

You are the thing that's killing me
Now I can see

You are the thing that's killing me
You're poisoning

You are the thing that's killing me
Now I'm here to bury thee

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.
