"Play The Poet" lyrics

"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
