lyrics

Let's go!

Like a picture hanging on the wall
Suspended, waiting for the fall
So it goes, why walk when you can crawl

Like a body lying on the floor
Blood seeping from a gaping sore
Close your eyes, another open door

Art isn't easy, Art isn't free
Art is everything it's meant to be

Life isn't easy, Life isn't free
Life is everything it's meant to be

Pick up your pen, craft another tale
Grab your coat, go make another sale
Just remember, everyone will fail

Life and death forever intertwined
Inspiration, seek and ye shall find
Stare too long and you will go blind

Art isn't easy, Art isn't free
Art is everything it's meant to be

Life isn't easy, Life isn't free
Life is everything it's meant to be

ART!
Imitates life, imitates
ART!
Imitates life, Imitates
ART!
Imitates life, imitates

ART!
Imitates life, imitates
ART!
Imitates life, imitates
ART!
IMITATES LIFE!

Listen up!

Like a valley full of broken thought
Or a meadow with flowers in rot
You'll be free if you forget what's taught

Let it go, become what you can dream
Beauty is not always what it seems
Sometimes all you can do is scream

Art isn't easy, Art isn't free
Art is everything it's meant to be

Life isn't easy, Life isn't free
Life is everything it's meant to be

ART!
Imitates life, imitates
ART!
Imitates life, Imitates
ART!
Imitates life, imitates

ART!
Imitates life, imitates
ART!
Imitates life, imitates
ART!
IMITATES LIFE!

Check it out!

Like a picture hanging on the wall
Suspended, waiting for the fall
So it goes, why walk when you can crawl

Like a body lying on the floor
Blood seeping from a gaping sore
Close your eyes, another open door

Art isn't easy, Art isn't free
Art is everything it's meant to be

Life isn't easy, Life isn't free
Life is everything it's meant to be

ART!
Imitates life, imitates
ART!
Imitates life, Imitates
ART!
Imitates life, imitates

ART!
Imitates life, imitates
ART!
Imitates life, imitates
ART!
IMITATES LIFE!
