lyrics

Favorite pictures on the wall
Tear them down and rip them all
Spread the pieces in a line
String the needle through with thread
Sew them all back up and then
Claim the pictures, now they're mine

I am a poet, I am a thief
Create by imitating what I see
Fooled again, by the muse inside my pen
To think that what was born had come from me

Hated pictures on the wall
Tear them down and rip them all
Feed the pieces to a flame
Grind the ashes to the ground
Snuff them out so they're not found
They never really held my name

I am lost, I am ashamed
The thoughts my body stole have reached my brain
Kill the plan, now I'm back where I began
But I still have the blood of others in my veins

In my veins!

I am a poet, I am a thief!
Create by imitating what I see
Fooled again, by the muse inside my pen
To think that what was born had come from me
