[Verse 1]
An artist is an artist
When an artist is an artist
And she don’t stop being an artist
‘cos she’s old you know
She don’t roll down her sleeves
Pick up her Zimmer frame and leave
Put down her pen put on her hat
Because of menopause
An artist is an artist
‘til her heart and all its arteries
Clog up and white blood cells
They un-suspend themselves
'cos an artist is an artist
‘til death do us depart-est
‘til the brain has a cessation
Of its functionals

[Chorus]
An artist is an artist
An artist is an artist
An artist is an artist
An artist is an artist
Go figure it out

[Verse 2]
An artist is an artist
When an artist is an artist
And they don’t stop being an artist
‘cos of you, you know
They don’t do all you say
Pack up their life and die away
‘cos they think all your little views are educational
There are days when they suspend ideas
And reticence begins to wear
Upon a tired mind and they feel bad of course
And then they read your shit
And lose the fucking will to live
‘cos your stupidity is raised above their principles

[Chorus]
An artist is an artist
An artist is an artist
An artist is an artist
An artist is an artist
Go figure it out
Go figure it out
Go figure it out
Go figure it out

[Verse 3]
An artist is an artist
Without followers or fartists
Without comments, without views
Without consequence
They ain’t here for your pleasure
Changing up like British weather
‘cos today you don’t like mayonnaise
On chips again
And while I'm here, it’s chip not fries
So don’t get fucking butterflies
I didn’t hang around
To be my own echo
‘cos an artist is an artist
When they wanna be anarchic
‘cos the narcissist in artist
Is beautiful

[Outro]
An artist is an artist
An artist is an artist
An artist is an artist
Oh an artist is an artist
Yeah an artist is an artist
An artist is an artist
An artist is an artist
An artist is an artist
Go figure it out
Go figure it out
Go figure it out out out
Go figure go figure go figure

I need to find the frequency that sparks and feeds these little seeds
To grow into something I can control
I need to find a way for me to let you breathe then choke
So I can be the one to save you, you from yourself

This is not your life
This is not your life
This is not your life

This is not your life
This is not the way it should be
This is not the life for you
It's not your life to lose

This is not your life
This is not the way it should be
This is not the life for you
It's not your life to lose

I am the don, the only one, the saviour and your god
You will obey me or betray me at your peril
Survive this day but take away one tiny morsel of hope
That I have for you, life can be beautiful

This is not your life
This is not your life
This is not your life

This is not your life
This is not the way it should be
This is not the life for you
It's not your life to lose

This is not your life
This is not the way it should be
This is not the life for you
It's not your life to lose

This is the anthem of your crossroads
May it blossom, may the soil that it depends on heal your will
I am the question at your crossroads
I make micro-decisions at every crossroads, at every turn

Oh, oh
This is not your life
This is not your life

This is not your life
This is not the way it should be
This is not the life for you
It's not your life to lose

This is not your life
This is not the way it should be
This is not the life for you
It's not your life to lose

This is not your life
This is not the way it should be
This is not the life for you
It's not your life to lose

This is not your life
This is not the way it should be
This is not the life for you
It's not your life to lose

I saw you standing trying to shelter
Cold fingers tracing icy skin
Your story sounded so familiar
You said too much to take it in

I got the love from my mother
I got the pain from my dad
I got the blame from my brother
Oh, shame, I got it bad

I saw you standing at an altar
You've made yourself from all you've had
A pair of coloured scarves with bells on
A family photo cut in half

I got the love from my mother
I got the pain from my dad
I got the blame from my brother
Shame, I got it bad

I saw you standing in the open
Warm eyes were dancing down the street
You had no bitterness, not broken, oh
Demons were dragons in retreat

I got the love from my mother
I got the pain from my dad
I got the blame from my brother
Oh, shame, I got it bad

Love from my mother
Pain from my dad
Blame from my brother
Shame, I got it bad

I got stuck
Glued to misfortune
Hooked on distortion
Down on my luck
Head in a daze
Thought i was killin’
Drinkin’ and pillin’
It lasted for days
Cops are comin’
Yeah they’re shakin’ me down
Heavy is the crown
Down to hit the bottom
Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em
No need to run away

All debts gonna get paid
Lost like a kid on a sign
Lost like a murderer’s mind
Lost like a dog in the street
That’s where you’ll find me
That’s where you’ll find me
Cracks in the sidewalk
Cracks in my brain
Think i’m goin’ insane
The shadows can talk
Afraid of the morning
Hide from the sun
Life on the run
Came without warning
Lost like a kid left behind
Lost like a murderer’s mind
Lost like a dog in the street
That’s where you’ll find me
That’s where you’ll find me

Afraid of the morning
Hide from the sun
Life on the run
Came without warning
Afraid of the morning
Hide from the sun
Life on the run
Came without warning
Lost like a kid left behind
Lost like a murderer’s mind
Lost like a dog in the street
That’s where you’ll find me
That’s where you’ll find me
Afraid of the morning
Hide from the sun
Life on the run
Came without warning
Afraid of the morning
Hide from the sun
Life on the run
Came without warning
Lost like a venemous deed
Lost like a murder of crows
Lost like a dog in the street
That’s where you’ll find me
That’s where you’ll find me

[Verse 1]
What gives you rights to sit and wait
While we fester in our fate
Violent rage, we feel
All this anger, all these ills

[Pre-Chorus]
But I've committed to your cause
I'm your witness, so let's raise our drinks and

[Chorus]
Cheers, have one more glass
Let's celebrate our big failure
We've won, we're out of time
There's no more hope for your saviour
So cheers
So cheers
So cheers

[Verse 2]
Where was the kindness? Where's the love
For all peoples from above
You left us high on these false hopes
Left us idols, not heroes

[Chorus]
Cheers, have one more glass
Let's celebrate our big failure
We've won, we're out of time
There's no more hope for your saviour
So cheers
So cheers
So cheers

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
But I've committed to your cause
I'm your witness, so let's raise our hands
Let's raise our drinks, let's raise our hands and

[Chorus]
Cheers, have one more glass
Let's celebrate our big failure
We've won, we're out of time
There's no more hope for your saviour
So cheers, have one more glass
Let's celebrate our big failure
We've won, we're out of time
There's no more hope for your saviour
So cheers
So cheers
So cheers
So cheers

I’m not a loser
I’m just empathetic
Lucifer’s cruiser
I am the stain in your prayers

No absolution
Keep it regulated
I bring devotions
I drag them all to your bed

But i can regress sometimes
I can regress into
An animal
In front of you

You make me lose my mind
I can regress into
An animal
In love with you
I am an animal
An animal
I am an animal
I am an animal
I am an animal
I am an animal

I’m not a user
I’m just calculated
You’re my cathedral
Deities live in my brain

I’m not afraid to get spurned
By the heat of your burn
I’m your salvation
I’ll drink your drug till i’m dead m8
Sometimes i yearn to be dreaming
Like it’s the beginning

Like everything’s so brand new
Then you’re gone again
I’m an empty bed
Alone and spent
