Mason Lyrics

cement, mortar, and bricks, my favorite materials
brick by brick, i'm slowly building up my walls
higher and higher i can barely see over now
hammer and chisel so i can get some light
maybe someone can peer in through my pinhole
maybe someone can see through my window
and see this body trapped behind these walls
i don't want you to see the whole picture
just a corner, maybe the wood of the frame
a syllable, a letter of the signature
i don't want you to know the canvas
every other weekend
i tempt myself with a ladder
i think about climbing over
rung by rung, and being naked
i question every, step rung by rung
then i climb back down cause i got a glimpse, a scent, a sound, and my eyes burn
the smell makes me nauseous
the pop noises leave my ears ringing
it left me ringing

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.
