Skin Deep Lyrics

The same position the last of the daydreams, carry on
I'm caught up for sometime I see, let it begin again
Why can't it be left this way, I've been sitting here all my life
I'm not choosing to go anywhere, but it's calling me
My words are written in stone but I don't know them
What is truth? I'm not so sure anymore
Tears are falling and I can't see what's facing
Why can't it be forgiven my redemption
Tears are falling and I don't know why
I long for later, stop me before I ask for more

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.

By a Thread is one of the best bands out that no one has heard of. They need to play in the states some more. Lyrically they are great and their music is incredible

That's exactly right!! They do sound like a mix between them! This is the first song I fell in love with by them-which urged me to buy the CD-for only $8.00 exactly...where? It was in Ralphs Records-just a little store here somewhere in Texas.
