Parallel Lines Lyrics

There's a lot of issues with these lyrics. Mostly they're good.

I think it's "With a lot more punctuation" instead of "Will mumble punctuation". But to be fair this line is really hard to hear.

Also, this is just guessing, but "Or silent through the verse" sounds to me like "Or sliding through the verse". Because "punctuation" in that line connotes that the person speaking is actually saying something.

"You're never cured" instead of "Your never cure" because the latter makes no sense and there's an audible syllable at the end of cure.

"Leers, cheers, whispers and the tears" instead of "Leers, cheers, whispers and tears". There's clearly a "the" before tears.

"That final taste before you're taken away" instead of "The final taste...". Same with this, it's clearly "That" instead of "The".

Anyway, just my thoughts.

The first paragraph is totally wrong. It goes:

If you found the words, would you really say them? Or STUTTER through the verse WITH mumble punctuation Remembering A line, an empty metaphor That you savored by yourself You're AN EPICURE If I forgot the lines, is it easy enough to fake it? Or do you need a moment to rememorize And model it like a curse half disguised?

hahaha. That's what he's saying, I will place money on it! An epicure makes sense, since he's using the word "savor"
