Starving Artist

Nothing is so perfect
Right below the surface
Distance and time
Washes away all these
Letters I write to you
Down the shores of remorse
What you give comes right back to you
Someone give me a sign
Spare me my pride
Save me from fading as time goes by
Sand to the tide
First to get mine
Save me from fading as time goes by
Ever passing moment
Shifting out of focus
Contempt when it bleeds
All the way through these
Words that I write to you
Nowhere to run for cover
At night floating out of view
Someone give me a sign
Spare me my pride
Save me from fading as time goes by
Sand to the tide
First to get mine
Save me from fading as time goes by
They say that life crumbles away
All the worst times in the rear view
So I’ll follow my dreams every day
Till they’re coming true
Someone give me a sign
Spare me my pride
Save me from fading as time goes by
Sand to the tide
First to get mine
Save me from fading as time goes by
