Bored Out Of My Mind Lyrics

I'm...I'm feeling too awake
I'm...I'm tired of what I see
Everybody's dreaming running for the scream
The medias stinking drunk nothing is at stake

All the faces I love
Their skin as soft as leprosy
Words choked on my lies
Reapeating love till they cry
All the faces I love
Their skin as soft as leprocy
I'm bored out of my mind
And I'm too stoned lazy to see

The sun...the sun is leaving me
I can't...see it anymore
I tried everything to get along with you
The nights too lonesome when the heat dosen't care

All the faces I love
Their skin as soft as leprocy
Words choked on my lies
Repeating love till they cry
All the faces I love
Their skin as soft as leprocy
I'm bored out of my mind
I'm too stoned lazy to see

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.
