In Ashes We Lie Lyrics

are we here to understand or to survive we are building mountains the blueprints are being drawn as breathless words pour from these eyes mounds lay like bodies in the morgue side by side, in ashes we lie are we here to understand or to survive smoke screens and bandages cannot hide the icons in architecture that stand as archives of colossal structure assembled to destruction layer in degrees of grey scale coating so travel broken rivers across manufactured landscapes and along the rebuilt curve of the planet as breathless words pour from these eyes

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.

man, i put this cd in tonite. just for old time's sake...

i was listening to this song in particular, and i thought to myself, "man, what is he talking about anyway?!"

so i come to check and only two people have commented on this song.

but here's the best part...

one of them is me, and i'm totally acting like a stupid 17 year old. arg, i hate it when people type crap like those two comments.

... or this comment.

someone, anyone ... what does this song mean to YOU?
