lyrics

Awwww yeahhh

[verse 1]

I am an artist
I am free
I am an artist
It’s all about me
I write my own songs
And I’m doing it well
I am an artist and I hate myself

I wake up every morning and I wish I was dead
It’s taking all my motivation just to get out of bed
I’m so high feeling like a million dollars in debt
You don’t become an artist till you’re fucked in the head

[prechorus]

So don’t believe me when I say I’m fine
I live in tragedy all the time
And it’s easy when I don’t know why
I put my sanity on the line

And all my empathy has all but died
I can’t remember how to cry
So if you see me when I’m on the mic
Just know I’m bleeding deep inside

And I say

[chorus]

Oh, I need professional help
I am an artist and I hate myself
X4

[verse]

I am an artist
I am unique
I say I’m normal but I’m really a freak
Hi, it’s very nice to meet you, call me LEX
I like good music and I love rough sex

I’m emotionally repressed with an avoidant attachment
Antisocially depressive and devoid of compassion
It’s proportionally expressed in the annoying attraction
I have for sadomasochistic boys in the sack

[prechorus]

But don’t believe me when I say I’m fine
I live in tragedy all the time
And it’s easy when I don’t know why
I put my sanity on the line

And all my empathy has all but died
I can’t remember how to cry
So if you see me when I’m on the mic
Just know I’m bleeding deep inside

And I say

[chorus]

Oh, I need professional help
I am an artist and I hate myself
X4

[verse 3]

Oh, we thought of offing ourselves
We made our art but put our lives on the shelf
It’s like yo
See all I wanted was fame
But maybe fame and misery are one and the same
So like
Maybe I should just give up on the game
I could save myself the strain of ever going insane
I’m making the change, abstaining from pain and any danger
I can waste my brain and make the whole world safer

[bridge]
So believe me when I say I’m fine
I live in apathy all the time
And it’s easy when I don’t know why
I put my vanity on the line

And my antipathy is clandestine
You’ll never catch me out of line
But if you see me when I’m on the mic
Know that I’m going out my mind

[chorus]

Oh, I need professional help
I am an artist and I hate myself
X4
