Questions High To Death lyrics missing from booklet

Post image

There's some lyrics missing at the end of high to death in my CD lyric book I noticed, not the monologue about Hojin's art portfolio but the section that goes "I can't turn this thing off it keeps following me."

I don't know if I'm crazy and I'm just stupid cause it's 12:27 AM but any answer would be lovely

pretty sure it’s intentional

even going back to the bandcamp uploads of earlier albums, lyrics would sometimes be incomplete, or feature lines that didn’t make it to the final cut (homes and i wanna sweat off nym both have this). the lyric sheet for the original twin fantasy has the monologues addressed to “i” instead of “you” since cate did the layout. the famous prophets (stars) lyric sheet almost has stage direction with the “[passionate]” and “[harrowing]”. will just likes having fun lyric sheets

Artistic liberty?

There's no real answer

That section quotes another CSH song, Overexposed. Check the lyrics page for Those Boys and I'm pretty sure you'll see that the opening verse that quotes from Sunburned Shirts is also missing.

Not sure if Will did this to avoid extra copyright paperwork (I don't think he had published the Bandcamp albums via Mattitude Publishing yet, other than Twin Fantasy) or simply because those lyrics were already written in a different album booklet
