In Silence Lyrics

Mouth clamped tight. My tongue burns with a thousand words. You could be my everything, but I won't even make a peep. In my mind we've lived that dream a hundred times. It was so wonderful, but you don't even know my name. Is this the right place? Could this be the right time? Are we just cheating ourselves by holding back with our everything? If I open up and let you peer inside, I'm afraid you won't like what you find. All these emotions swell like a lake behind a damn built for rejections' sake. In silence, my thoughts are crime. In silence, I'm left behind.

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.

this song is so beautiful. i remember hearing it for the first time at a local show. faded grey is such a rockin band. If I open up and let you peer inside, I'm afraid you won't like what you find hearts.

yeah, theyre good guys, we went to a show to see them, and they didn't play, so they gave us free shit and gas money to drive to virginia and see them at their next show, but they didnt play again, and we had no money to get back, so maybe they arent so good after all...

For some reason this song reminds me of being shy.
