Plagiarist

[Intro]
I hear the music, the pressure is real
They come and get me
I'm reading my own mind
I clear the bookcase of words I might steal
I can't believe it, I've lifted every line
Lifted every line
Lifted every line
Lifted every line

[Chorus]
I can't pretend to regret it
The days that just won't die
Under the shape of a sail
I'm reading my own mind
The cold steel and the instant

[Verse 1]
I change the wording to make it less clear
They come and get me
I thought no one would mind
I took a walk in the palace of peers
Wrote down their lyrics
And passed them off as mine
Passed them off as mine
Passed them off as mine
Passed them off as mine

[Chorus]
I can't pretend to regret it
The days that just won't die
Under the shape of a sail
Receiving my own mind
The cold steel and the instant
The taste of rust and brine
The great fear of a moment
Appealing to the sky

[Verse 2]
They come and carry me out
Into the damp lane
An unaccompanied child
Raises a fat hand
When I had nothing to give
I gave what wasn't mine
I opened up an old book

[Chorus]
I can't pretend to regret it
The days that just won’t die
Under the shape of a sail
I'm reading my own mind
The cold steel and the pressure
The taste of rust and brine
The ship's keel and the infant
Asleep in his own life
