Starving Artist Impersonator

Scrape the contents of my stomach

Pant it make it art

Monetize my being

Put a nice price on my heart

Sell my soul to art dealers and crowds in big theaters

If i ever really make it

But I won't

So i'll scrape off my skin flakes

And air out my mistakes

And hope that i'll find growth

Cus' I did bad in school

Was never really seen as cool

Broke no hearts but my own and i'm to blame

So take my shivers and my sorrows

Take my angst and my disdain

Make it worth something to you

Oh please monetize my pain
