Escape Artist Lyrics

This time the circle closes. This time there's nothing left for you, for me. This time the circle closes. This time we lay this to rest. Others, just like the others. Loneliness, hopelessness. Others, just like the others. Hopelessness, hollowness. Others, just like the others. Hollowness, heartlessness. Tonight I'll kiss your poison lips. This time your past surrounds you. this time the circle closes in. This time salvation binds you. This time the hate will break you again. Fears you said face you fears, but the tears make it all so clear to me now. Tonight I'll kiss your poison lips.

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.
