Poet Lyrics - Bastille

1 Obsession it takes control,

2 Obsession it eats me whole.

3 I can't say the words out loud,

4 So in a rhyme I wrote you down.

5 Now you'll live through the ages,

6 I can feel your pulse in the pages.

7 I have written you down

8 Now you will live forever

9 And all the world will read you

10 And you will live forever

11 In eyes not yet created

12 On tongues that are not born

13 I have written you down

14 Now you will live forever

15 Your body lies upon the sheet,

16 Of paper and words so sweet.

17 I can't say the words,

18 so I wrote you into my verse.

19 Now you'll live through the ages,

20 I can feel your pulse in the pages.

21 I have written you down

22 Now you will live forever

23 And all the world will read you,

24 And you will live forever

25 In eyes not yet created

26 On tongues that are not born

27 I have written you down

28 Now you will live forever

29 I have read her with these eyes,

30 I've read her with these eyes,

31 I have held her in these hands.

32 I have written you down,

33 Now you will live forever.

34 The virtues in the verse,

35 And you will live forever.

36 I have written you down

37 Now you will live forever

38 And all the world will read you

39 And you will live forever

40 In eyes not yet created

41 On tongues that are not born

42 I have written you down

43 Now you will live forever
