Lyrics for Play the Poet

This place meant for our grave The dark before the dawn, no place to be safe What does a dead man say? When riddled with regret in desperate plays All my life, afraid of the someone That I could've been, and now I'm through Relive the things that you don't want to Make you a better them to the ones who do No sense in hiding that you know it Blame yourself, now play the poet I can't rely on you to play the game And abide by the rules Born to play the poet, fire your words like bombs and bullets And aim for my head, go on, aim for my head Take aim, made to stake claim Close to something like resolve but the same for decades Different language, the words you can't seem to say How can this get any better? Here we go again All my life, afraid of the someone That I could've been, and now I'm through Does reliving things that you don't want to Make you a better them to the ones who do? I can't rely on you to play the game And abide by the rules Born to play the poet, fire your words like bombs and bullets And aim for my head, go on, aim for my head Relive the thing that you don't want to Make you a better them to the ones who do Relive the thing that you don't want to Make you a better them to the ones who do Relive the things that you don't want to Make you a better them to the ones who do Relive the things that you don't want to Make you a better them to the ones who do Now break your mind and try to find the right It's all your life, the lines, the lies, now I Now break your mind and try to find the right It's all your life, the lines, the lies now I can't rely on you to play the game And abide by the rules Born to play the poet, fire your words like bombs and bullets And aim for my head, go on, aim for my head I can't rely on you to play the game And abide by the rules Born to play the poet, fire your words like bombs and bullets And aim for my head, go on, aim for my head Aim for my head
