Song Lyrics: Picasso, Artists Lament

PICASSO (ARTISTS LAMENT)

I COULD OF MADE IT

IF LUCK WAS ON MY SIDE

DIDN'T MAKE SO MANY BAD CHOICES

HURT SO MUCH INSIDE

SURE MY WINDOWS GETTING SMALLER

FOR THE FAME AND FORTUNE I SET OUT TO FIND

BUT I'M STILL HERE TRYING

GOING OUT OF MY MIND

WHOEVER FIRST SPOKE THE WORDS STARVING ARTIST

SPOKE WITH ACCURACY OF ALL TIME

BRUSH IN MY HAND, LOVE IN EVERY STROKE

EVERY CANVAS TRYING TO OUTDO THE LAST

AND SUCCEEDING

SURPASSING EVEN MY OWN EXPECTATIONS

I WANT TO SHOW THE WORLD WHAT I CAN DO

I'M JUST NOT SURE HOW

I'M JUST AN ARTIST AFTER ALL

WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED

WISH I WASN'T SO HUMBLE, WISH I WASN'T SO SHY

MAYBE ALL THESE PAINTINGS

ARE WAITING FOR ME TO DIE

chorus

PICASSO LEFT US IN 1973, SUCH A SAD DAY

BUT IT LEFT AN OPENING FOR ME

ALWAYS ON THE DARK SIDE,

LOOKING FOR THE BRIGHT SIDE

KALEIDOSCOPE OF COLORS, ALL RIGHT BEFORE ME

I TRY TO USE THEM ALL

BUT I TEND TO LEAN ON BLUE, I DO

I JUST CAN'T HELP IT, ITS WHAT'S INSIDE OF ME

TRYING TO GET OUT JUST LIKE ME

I JUST WANT TO BE FREE

I WANT TO CARRY ON, BE A PERSON OF NOTE

FOR WHAT I'VE CAPTURED ON CANVAS

HOPE TO EVERLASTING VIEW

SPECULATING ON WHAT I WAS THINKING

 AND WHAT I KNEW

I'M AN ARTIST, I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO UNDERSTAND

I'M AN ARTIST, IT'S NEVER SOFT WHERE I LAND

PART OF THE PERSONA

PART OF THE MYSTIQUE

PART OF SOMETHING THAT'S SO UNIQUE

BRUSH IN MY LEFT HAND, TRYING TO PAINT THE SKY

THINKING ABOUT PICASSO, BUT I'M NOT SURE WHY

repeat chorus
