Of Corpse Lyrics

Featherless
Born between
Urine and feces
Bless this mess

Featherless
Born between
Urine and feces
Bless this mess

Convalesced
In a pretty dress
While I robbed your ass
In a ski mask

I piss myself
Just to know that
I am no one else
Crushed to dust
A skeletal amount
Busted up
A pillar fell
A requiem to my poor health
Surrounded by so much wealth
What a way to go

I was wishing you well
When you fell into the sewers
Into the water with so much force

The river is a giver
So watch your mouth
Gave me the shivers when I tried to climb out

I fished myself out of an air hole
So let me catch my breath before I bellow
A calcified account of poison peril

Water borne blood clot or
The price you hoard of corpse

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.
