Storybook Disease Lyrics

I have broken many dreams but like broken hearts
they seem to mend with ease
I’ve traversed the open sea with a
grain of guts and a gallon of need
but I’m tired and I’m easily fixed
a hair trigger in this one's breed I’m upset with
upsetting things and always sad to see the good things leave
so what’s wrong you? so what's wrong with you?
so what's wrong with you?
she says oh, what's wrong with you is
what's wrong with me long lost negotiations
make in hell to break my nerves toiled
and fought my way to the top
I haven't done but have tried at least to deserve
shiny things on golden jeweled plates aren't just handed out
for those in need oh I’ve learned and I’m learning still
that staying idle is the worst disease
I blame myself for breaking promises I made
to myself in so called "dire need"
but I won't apologize for the cursed words I’ve
laid upon those that I blamed it's no use to toil over this
isn't life to be a simple thing?
it's a flux, a want for worth that I need to
dispel those need

I have broken many dreams but like broken hearts 
they seem to mend with ease 
I’ve traversed the open sea with a 
grain of guts and a gallon of need 
but I’m tired and I’m easily fixed 
a hair trigger in this one's breed I’m upset with 
upsetting things and always sad to see the good things leave 
so what’s wrong you? so what's wrong with you? 
so what's wrong with you? 
she says oh, what's wrong with you is 
what's wrong with me long lost negotiations 
make in hell to break my nerves toiled 
and fought my way to the top 
I haven't done but have tried at least to deserve 
shiny things on golden jeweled plates aren't just handed out 
for those in need oh I’ve learned and I’m learning still 
that staying idle is the worst disease 
I blame myself for breaking promises I made 
to myself in so called "dire need" 
but I won't apologize for the cursed words I’ve 
laid upon those that I blamed it's no use to toil over this 
isn't life to be a simple thing? 
it's a flux, a want for worth that I need to 
dispel those need

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.
