Living Well

They say you have to suffer for your art
So I guess that means it’s losing what you love
They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder
But I think my heart has grown fond enough
What am I doing tonight?
My nose is bleeding and my shoes are feeling tight
So, can we just get a minute, or fifteen if you give it?
Can you pretend that I’m looking alright?
They say that if you’re gonna write a song
You need to deal with things yourself and then move on
And though the best revenge is living well, they say
The only problem’s I ain’t living very well today
Who are you kidding tonight?
Your eyes are looking like you’re strapped to sticks of dynamite
So, if this is what you want
Please stop saying that you won’t
'cause you think that’ll make you feel alright
Who are we kidding tonight?
We’re acting like a brother and sister in a fight
And maybe if we just stop bickering
We could get to do some thinking
And pretending that we’re feeling alright
