i'd rather keep them apart, as you don't see poets on mtv playlists, and a song doesn't go into collections of poems. i write songs, not poems, otherwise it doesn't speak to me well, but the above post explains everything so much better. there is no way my lyrics could be arranged without an instrument because that is how i write them, like i said, the above post explains it better.
