Selfish Art

Sometime

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 someone's eye

Am I giving all that I can give

Am I earning the right to live

By looking in a mirror

There's nothing more sincere than selfish art

Sometimes

When I've got nothing to say

I think breaking a heart

Could maybe be the start of some new page

And sometimes

I play a couple war games

Using live ammunition

So I can fix what I'm missing

Most of my songs are true

Most of my songs are due to some broken people

So I could 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 someone's eye

Am I giving all that I can give

Am I earning the right to live

By looking in a mirror

There's nothing more sincere than selfish art

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 someone's eye

Am I giving all that I can give

Am I earning the right to live

By looking in a mirror

There's nothing more sincere than selfish art

There's nothing more sincere than an empty heart

There's nothing more sincere than who we are

Than who we are
