The Poet's Dead
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's not just that I was scared back then, I was scared of when
You'd finally realize what I hide inside
A soul that has hurt and cried through cheats and lies
I'm sorry dear, but that's behind these longing eyes
Given how much time you spend equating your own head
You really shoulda known by now what it takes to love
For you I will bite my tongue and hold you if you need someone
The poetry, it's in your head, it's in your head
The poetry is in your head, though the poet's dead
The poetry is in your head, though the poet's dead
Darling let's take the time to evolve past
These nervous laughs, be comfortable through our silences
Like a scientist with his experiments
Just waiting on reactions on reactions
Like all of us socialists, born to hope, raised to fail
Like all of us socialists, born to hope, raised to fail
I'll dress up in my western wear, you'll dress like you don't care
The poetry, it's in your head, it's in your head
The poetry is in your head, though the poet's dead
The poetry is in your head, though the poet's dead
The poetry is in your head, though the poet's dead
The poetry is in your head, though the poet's dead
It's not just that I was scared back then, I was scared of when
You'd finally realize what I hide inside
I'll dress up in my western wear, you'll dress like you don't care
The poetry, it's in your head, it's in your head
The poetry is in your head, though the poet's dead
The poetry is in your head, though the poet's dead
The poetry is in your head, though the poet's dead
The poetry is in your head, is in your head
(The poetry is in your head) though the poet's dead
(The poetry is in your head) though the poet's dead
(The poetry is in your head) though the poet's dead
(The poetry is in your head) though the poet's dead
