Fake Your Art and Die

Here comes the same bit of sky that I saw just yesterday
The blink of an eye, and it once again fades away
Look at the time, I need to jump off this carousel
Throw me a line and help me back down to earth
When I’ve got a lot of people talking to me with their exclamations
I don’t really hear a word they say to me
but now I see
beyond that line of trees
So many times, I’ve tried to make out I’m someone else
So many times I’ve tried to fake everything
Fabricating your life is a sure fire way to insolvency
but faking your art is a sure fire way to die
When I’ve got a lot of people talking to me with their exclamations
I don’t really hear a word they say to me
but now I see
beyond that line of trees
So many times, I’ve tried to make out I’m someone else
So many times I’ve tried to fake everything
Fabricating your life is a sure fire way to insolvency
but faking your art is a sure fire way to die
