A Song Of The Artist

Art defines me

Art enshrines me

Within the walls of debts and false hopes

So cast me away

And praise me everyday

Once I've nothing to offer but my ghost

It's the way it goes

Tears will flow

No mercy shown

Thought and longing

The sacred and the fallen

Surround me from all points of existence

Although I must pay

For the answers that they gave

I harbor not a trace of resistance

The questions rise

The sparrow flies

The baby cries

Now I sharpen my tools

I'll play the fool

And wait for my world to come to an end

I'll wait forever

A foolish endeavor

Til my dust makes its way to the wind

Dirty deals

Fates unsealed

Was this your big reveal?

So tell my story

Live my glory

Fashion a noose from your rope

And hang my days

In your hall of displays

And watch as the cracks start to grow

Is this what you expected?

Is this what you rejected?

Is this what you neglected?

Has your statue been erected?

Did you want to die respected?

Art defines me

Art enshrines me

Art defines me

Art enshrines me

Art defines me

Art enshrines me
