Track # 3 from The Dark Side of the double-disc album The Dark Becomes The Light by The Cellophane Heart

lyrics

"Your art...it will kill you,"
That's what she said.
"But if that's not really living dear,
I'd rather be dead."
All alone in pursuit
I feel the weight and distress
All from my own persecution
To not be like the rest

"Your art will kill you," she said.
"Your art it will kill you my friend."

I met a man who once told me
A tale of regrets
He led a lifetime of crime
That could have better been spent
And one day while at home
While he was lying in bed
His life had changed in a flash
Like someone pushed his reset

"Your art will kill you," he said
"Your art it will kill you my friend."
"Your art will kill you," he said
"Your art it should kill you my friend."

In pursuit of the knowledge
I've been turning the key
I've been trying to see
What's been locked inside of me
With a passion that burns
And massive need to express
I might explode like a star
Or disappear like the rest...

Your art will kill you my friend
Imitating life and pretend
The justified and means to your end
Your art it should kill you again

Your art would kill you I bet
Your art it should kill you my friend

Your art it will kill you my friend
Imitating life and pretend
The justified and means to your end
Your art it should kill you again
Your art it will kill you my friend
Imitating life and pretend
The justified and means to your end
Your art it should kill you again

Your art would kill you I bet
Your art it should kill you my friend
