Artist

I am not
As strong as you think I am
I'm like a door that's falling
Off the hinges

I am lost
All alone in the wilderness
Stranded in the forest in a
Lightning storm

I'll pick up my finest brush
Start tracing the lines
And you won't see me cry

Save me the speech
Stay away from me
I will find my inspiration
From the pain I feel inside
I'll paint a portrait of my broken heart
On the canvas of my right forearm
Let my paintbrush leave its mark
'Cause I'm an Artist don't you know, know

I am not
The person that I appear
Behind closed doors I'm like a
Two-faced stranger

Try to keep
My head above the water
But the waves won't hold back
And the sharks are circling

I'll pick up my finest brush
Start tracing the lines
And you won't see me cry

Save me the speech
Stay away from me
I will find my inspiration
From the pain I feel inside
I'll paint a portrait of my broken heart
On the canvas of my right forearm
Let my paintbrush leave its mark
'Cause I'm an Artist don't you know

See my art
See my heart
See the paint rush down and
Colour my shirt red
See my scars
From this love
See my portrait
Under my shirtsleeves

Save me the speech
Stay away from me
I will find my inspiration

Save me the speech
Stay away from me
I will find my inspiration
From the pain I feel inside
I'll paint a portrait of my broken heart
On the canvas of my right forearm
Let my paintbrush leave its mark
'Cause I'm an Artist don't you know
But like all my insecurities
I'll hide my scars beneath the seams
And you won't see me where I bleed
I'm the Artist you don't know, know

(Woah oh, woah oh woah oh) I'm an Artist don't you know, know
(Woah oh, woah oh woah oh) I'm an Artist don't you know, know
(Woah oh, woah oh woah oh) I'm an Artist don't you know, woah oh
I'm an Artist
