Song lyrics

[Verse 1:]
Is it romantic how all of my elegies eulogize me?
I'm not cut out for all these cynical clones,
These hunters with cell phones.

[Chorus:]
Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die,
I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you.
Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry,
I'm setting off, but not without my muse.

[Verse 2:]
What should be over burrowed under my skin
In heart-stopping waves of hurt,
I've come too far to watch some namedropping sleaze,
Tell me what are my words worth.

[Chorus:]
Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die,
I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you.
Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry,
I'm setting off, but not without my muse.

[Bridge:]
I want auroras and sad prose,
I want to watch wisteria grow right over my bare feet
Because I haven't moved in years,
And I want you right here.
A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground
With no one around to tweet it,
While I bathe in cliffside pools
With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief.

[Chorus:]
Take me to the lakes, where all the poets went to die,
I don't belong and, my beloved, neither do you.
Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry,
I'm setting off, but not without my muse,
No, not without you.
