In The Attic Lyrics

In The Attic

There is a pause in my life
That started when I was in the attic
Just a few moments now
Before the whole thing collapses
See the cracks in the windows
They've been there for so long
And the beams falling
As I run down the stair
I can't wait to fall down
In my deep earth shelter
At the basement of the earth
At the bottom of the freezing sea
Now I can't wait
No, I can't wait
No, I can't wait
I walk through the kick down graveyard
Just thinking about myself
And I cut my finger
Walking through the rusty junkyard
And I get a splinter
Walking through the lumberyard
Trying to find a beam
To rebuild my life
I can't wait to fall down
In my deep earth shelter
At the basement of the earth
At the bottom of the creaking sea
Now I can't wait
No, I can't wait
No, I can't wait
I can't wait to fall down
In my deep earth shelter
At the basement of the earth
At the bottom of the creaking sea
I can't wait
No, I can't wait
No, I can't wait
No, I can't wait

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.

Y!!!
