The Artist Lyrics

You wanted me for attention

Not to mention chronic affection

If love's a canvas am I the artist?

Now I question this performance

I'm on my way to disaster

But I'll risk the pain for your laughter

I can be okay if I practice

Practice often

Get excited 'cause you're invited

Don't fight it I know you like when

I paint pictures of my depression

You only wanted the artist

Sound the sirens 'cause we've begun

But I won't cry till you're all gone

Play my trauma loud at the party

Everybody praises the artist

It's easy to make you happy

As long as I'm entertaining

Could tell you a tragic story

Don't matter till I perform it

I just needed you to notice me and only me, me, me, me

(Me, me, me, me)

So get excited 'cause you're invited

Don't fight it I know you like when

I paint pictures of my depression

You only wanted the artist

Sound the sirens 'cause we've begun

But I won't cry till you're all gone

Play my trauma loud at the party

Everybody praises the artist

(Play my trauma loud at the party)

(Everybody praises the)

Can you hear me?

(I've been down this road longer than you care to know)

Are you listening?

(I just wanna go but I know you'll beg for more)

Can you hear me?

(I've been down this road longer than you care to know)

Are you listening?

(I just wanna go but I know you'll beg for more)

One, two, three, four

Get excited 'cause you're invited

Don't fight it I know you like when

I paint pictures of my depression

You only wanted the artist

Sound the sirens 'cause we've begun

But I won't cry till you're all gone

Play my trauma loud at the party

Everybody praises the artist

Can you hear me?

(I've been down this road longer than you care to know)

Are you listening?

(I just wanna go but I know you'll beg for more)
