LYRICS

I'm an artist

Of sorts

Least I try.

But lately

I've had trouble

Getting by.

The song in my head doesn't

Fit on the page

And my best efforts yet

Making me wanna rage

And I don't

Want

To

Continue beating my

Head against a wall

The harder I try

The more I see flaws as the all

And I don't want to cry or

Sleep any less than I do

But I wanna' please you

My adoring fans

Who praise and delight

In the things that I make

Though I don't think it's right

Because sometimes I'll go

Two three weeks with nothing

Oh nothing oh nothing

Oh nothing to show

I am an artist

And I try my best

But these words in my head

Are stuck in my chest

And try as I might

It won't come out right

And I am an artist

Who's up late at night

And I don't

Want

To

Continue beating my

Head against a wall

The harder I try

The more I see flaws as the all

And I don't want to cry or

Sleep any less than I do

But I want to please you

The plight of the artist

Is not quite a science

And try as we might, we cannot define it

There's no right or wrong

Just better or worse

This gift kinda' hurts

And I want to do better

Much better for you

My adoring fans coming out of the blue

So please now be patient

The muses are shy

And push and I push for

No matter I try

They'll hide and they'll scream

When I'm begging I need

‘Cause try as I might

They just won't come out clean

And I want

To

Continue beating my

Head against a wall

The harder I try

The more I see flaws in all that I do

And I just wanna' to please you

And make you feel all the things that I do
