Hiding out in an oversized t-shirt
Coz the wolves know my name
They root me out, they boo and shout
And they try to drown the shame
That keeps my ship afloat
But it is just a friendly boat
Surfing the tide
And I am alive
I don't know if you know
I can feel the way you don't let go
Of your hold on me
Like the gold is free
And institutions know the way
But I guess it's like what they all say
You can't know it til you've tried it
And I only hide it
In my summer clothes
But I'm wearing it well and God knows
That the winter won't last forever
And every beginning was once an endeavour
That shot to the heart
Stop telling me to make art, make art
When I am a living breathing movement of creation
I love to learn but my education
Only taught me how to be the best
So I let it go and the rest
Is history as they say
And there's something that doesn't go away
In all the withering stares
And the vacant who cares
That seem to fall from the lips of man
I live my best life coz I can
