Below, you will find the lyrics for Poet by Bastille.
Verse 1
Obsession, it takes control
Obsession, it eats me whole
Chorus 1
I can't say the words out loud
So in rhyme i wrote you down
Now you 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
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
Verse 2
Your body lies upon the sheets
Of paper, and words so sweet
Chorus 2
I can't say the words
So i wrote you into my verse
Now you 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
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
Bridge
I have read her with these eyes
I have 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
Chorus 3
I have written you down now
You will live forever
And all the world will read you
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
Outro
You will live forever
