Edgar Allan Poe

There's no more haunted man than me
Save Edgar Allan Poe
For I have lived vicariously
Like Edgar Allan Poe

I fear I've loved and lost in vain
Like Edgar Allan Poe
Only Lord and no one can ease the pain
As they did for Poe

My nerves as tight as harpist strings
Like Edgar Allan Poe
My heart weeps like a violin
Like Edgar Allan Poe

There's a black hole where my soul should be
A smouldering ember of self-pity
'Cause I'm like Edgar Allan Poe
'Cause I'm like Edgar Allan Poe
There's a black hole where my soul should be
A smouldering cinder of self-pity
'Cause I'm like Edgar Allan Poe
'Cause I'm like Edgar Allan Poe

My empty clothes sit in this chair
Like Edgar Allan Poe
While my spirit takes the evening air
Like Edgar Allan Poe
I'm but a husk of my former self
My bruised heart bottled on the shelf

'Cause I'm like Edgar Allan Poe
'Cause I'm like Edgar Allan Poe
