In this world of give and take
I've learned to take my share
Demoralizing myself in greed and adultery

A spirit timeless won't confide in me

In the restraints of the social norm

I criticized the artist
For being too emotional too giving
Too much like the me I am longing to be


I want to live and I want to run free
I want to breathe like the artist in me

And revel in the heart of spontaneity

Couldn't tell you about New York City

I was too drunk most of the time
couldn't tell you of the ways of LA
I was too busy daydreaming to blind to see


They say sometimes it's better to forget
Accentuate the guilt without the regret

They say sometimes you must face away
To truly see yourself, to truly see yourself


I want to live and I want to run free
I want to breathe like the artist in me
And revel in the heart of spontaneity
