Poetic Rivals

Tell me what song you listen to whenever I'm gone, when you're all alone Tell me what words, from another, not a lover, that you've heard Bring you comfort in the night Will I live up to the rhymes Be the villain in the crime Can I ever gain survival Over my poetic rivals? In a world of fools and heroes The shapes, the leaves On the walks you take underneath the trees Tell me what to see Colors that make you dream The brush strokes that make you feel alive Will I live up to the rhymes Be the villain in the crime Can I ever gain survival Over my poetic rivals? In a world of fools and heroes Let me play you this song Take you to my favorite club in town Dance all night long Take off those heels I'll carry you home Fly like a bird Free as a girl Will I live up to the rhymes Be the villain in the crime Can I ever gain survival Over my poetic rivals? In a world of fools and heroes Remind me of the words that you whispered in my ear The words that took away all my fears
