Toxic Lyrics

Sticks and stones may break my bones
But words can burn a happy home
It's ture
I've got words for you
The past is done
It's gone forever
Don't tell me my pain is pleasure
You, you haven't got a clue

(Chorus)
I, I wanna cry but I don't make a sound
I am your child and your child is feeling down
Everybody's toxic in this town

All God's children fade and die
In the name of let's get high
Amen, you'd do it again
I pray to lord, my soul, my kid
When you're coming down I'll be asleep
I can't pretend
It's killing me again

Chorus

Call me my Lord
I'm coming down
Call me my Lod
I'm coming down

Chorus x 2

Sticks and stones may break my bones
But words can burn a happy home
It's ture
I've got words for you

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.

This B-side is AMAZING. It's so dark and doomy. It's full of despair. About the way you might feel and how you see the world when you're caught up in depression. I've got the feeling Robbie talks about his own home in this song, how feeling somehow trapped in his younger years of his life made him sad for life.

I've had a quite "happy" home, still I feel I've been subdued in so many ways. And still that's got consequences in my every day life and the way that I look the world and life itself sometimes: frightened and pessimistic, like there where nothing worth fighting for :(
