Port Wine Stain Lyrics

Scattered bout my ashes and we'll dance a thousand dances to
The swelling parasite inside my heart
Lucky strikes on painted time
Couldn't get you off my mind
Couldn't stop the itching
The complaining and the bitching
I hear sounds of once happy families ripped apart
Sweating in the springs I don't think I wanna sing
I wanna tear this blue hell tear it right apart
And I know just what I want
To be back with you right in your skin
I feel bad for everything
And I know you're there to let me in
I've been red for three weeks straight
My depression is no mystery
So I sit back and hold my tears and
Drink away my misery
Hey I'm alone how bout you?
Do you appreciate the things I do?
Put away the past at the pace of a crawl
You close your eyes to build a wall
Soon enough our day will come
This love is true and may sound strange to some
Dance hall days just like a phase
To get to you just to be misplaced

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.
