String of Pearls, String of Eights Lyrics

The thoughtless shrunk life 
That's between these cities of war
 The patches of my dowd
 Well this months make or break
 Can't find a quick break
 That's this month catch and take 
The thoughtless trumpet life 
That I live with everyday

See it follow me
 I am the enemy
  See it follow me
  Well I dare thee why…  
I… Am I still there?
Am I still in the system?
 Am I still there? 
the system 
the system 
I spit in your hair

See it follow me
 I tempt her enemy
 When I dare me… 
my birthday

Plain view system 
Am I still there?
 the system
 I spit in your hair

Its my Birthday
  Its my Birthday
 Its my.. ever after
 Ever after

The thoughtless shrunk life
 That's between these cities of war
 The patches of my dowd
 Would give way make or break

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.
