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
