[Intro]
Ahem
Yeah

[Chorus]
I was staring at the sky
Singin' toxic lullabies
I was starin' at the sky

[Verse]
Screaming words with no remorse
Pitchforks pointed at my heart
I was staring at the sky

[Bridge]
We're gonna break
We're gonna break
We're gonna break
We're gonna break


[Chorus]
I was staring at the sky
Singin' toxic lullabies
I was starin' at the sky

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
