A New Theory Of Virtue Lyrics

The more things seem to change The more they stay the same Today is the tomorrow that we worried about yesterday Prisoners of high anxiety And its gonna sting a little When you come to the realization That nothing short of a miracle Will make you extra ordinary I will always be in pain But I will never suffer Acceptance is the way To end agony forever The nature of the mind is to be free From pain and suffering Who cares if you matter to the world? If you don’t matter to your self The only answer that I have Is not everything makes sense Not everything’s Empirical. Waste my time waiting for prophetic dreams Looking for omnipotence Searching for A new theory of virtue I will always be in pain But I will never suffer Acceptance is the way To end agony forever The nature of the mind is to be free From pain and suffering The more things seem to change The more they stay the same…

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.
