Selfish Art

Sometimes
 Making songs for a living
 Feels like living to make songs
 And sometimes
 I get an uneasy feeling
 That i'm doing something wrong
 'cause nothing really feels like home
 And I just want to be alone
 Calculate the hours
 'till the power in the well
 Goes dry
 I'm watching as the stage goes black
 How long until we all go back
 To being nothing at all,
 Nothing but a spark in someones eye?
 Am I giving all that
 I can give?
 Am I earning
 the right to live?
 By looking in the mirror
 There's nothing more sincere
 Than selfish art.
 And sometimes
 I got nothing to say
 I think breaking a heart
 Can maybe the start
 Of some new page
 Sometimes
 I play a couple war games
 Using live ammunition
 So I can fix what im missing
 And most of my songs are true
 And most of my songs are due to some
 Broken people so I can
 Write a single
 I'm watching as the stage goes black
 How long until we all go back
 To being nothing at all,
 Nothing but a spark in someones eye?
 Am I giving all that
 I can give?
 Am I earning
 The right to live?
 By looking in the mirror
 There's nothing more sincere
 Than selfish art.

 By looking in the mirror
 There's nothing more sincere
 Than selfish art.
 Oh theres nothing more sincere
 Than an empty heart
 Oh theres nothing more sincere
 Than who we are
 Who we are
