Lyrics for Poet
Obsession, it takes control Obsession, it eats me whole I can't say the words out loud So in a rhyme I wrote you down Now you'll live through the ages I can feel your pulse in the pages I have written you down Now you will live forever And all the world will read you And you will live forever In eyes not yet created On tongues that are not born I have written you down Now you will live forever Your body lies upon the sheets Of paper in words so sweet I can't say the words So I wrote you into my verse Now you'll live through the ages I can feel your pulse in the pages I have written you down Now you will live forever And all the world will read you And you will live forever In eyes not yet created On tongues that are not born I have written you down Now you will live forever I have read her with these eyes I've read her with these eyes I have held her in these hands I have written you down Now you will live forever The virtue's in the verse And you will live forever I have written you down Now you will live forever And all the world will read you And you will live forever In eyes not yet created On tongues that are not born I have written you down Now you will live forever
