Airplanefood! - Orpheus Lyrics

I wanna be a poet
A poet's what I wanna be
Wanna write about emotion
The spark that keeps you going
I could be an inspiration
Celebrated 'cross the nation

But I don't know what to write about
I've never done this before and it feels kinda scary
Consoling to mythology
The god's are gonna speak to me
Hear songs of Eurydice
Maybe this could be my niche

He made hell grant
What love did seek
But he turned around
Now his love stays in the underworld
He was blinded
By desire
Now his lover's
Trapped inside the fire

I wanna be like Orpheus
Orpheus is who I wanna be
I'd be the master of my craft
A disaster for your heart
Wanna make the furies weep
And put cerberus to sleep

He made hell grant
What love did seek
But he turned around
Now his love stays in the underworld
He was blinded
By desire
Now his lover's
Trapped inside the fire

Don't wanna be like Orpheus
Who wouldn't die for what he loved
Don't wanna be like Orpheus
Don't wanna die
Don't wanna love
Don't wanna be like Orpheus
Who wouldn't die for what he loved
Don't wanna be like Orpheus
Don't wanna die
Don't wanna love

Should I even be a poet if I cannot do it well?
Should I forget altogether 'bout the dreams on which I dwell?

He made hell grant
What love did seek
But he turned around
Now his love stays in the underworld
He was blinded
By desire
Now his lover's
Trapped inside the fire
Now his lover's
Trapped inside the fire
