Poets With Instruments.

They save lives by singing words
that I relate to, do you understand?
They are simply the poets with instruments,
A modern take on 17th century literature,

Clever word-play and a beautiful strum,
A fast wit and the strategic hit of a drum,
A voice of talent with such a range,
And they might seem a little different, a little strange,
The thing is though, they just got brains.

They save lives by singing words
that distract me from my own life,
They are simply the poets with instruments,
A modern take on 17th century literature,

Pretty patterns weaved with poised pens,
A whole record of truth worth a listen,
A clash of sounds with such a range,
And they may seem a little different, a little strange,
The thing is though, they just got brains.

They save lives by simply using words
the way they should be used in love letters,
They save lives by simply using words
the way they should be used in hate letters,

From arrogance to bouts of low self esteem,
From love to hate and back again,
A mix of feelings about such a range,
And they may seem a little different, a little strange,
The thing is though, they just got brains.

They are simply the poets with instruments.
