Artist Anthem 2022 Lyrics

I am an artist

I am free

I am an artist, it's all about me

I write my own songs and I'm doing it well

I am an artist and I hate myself

I wake up in the morning and I wish I was dead

It's taking all my motivation just to get out of bed

I'm so high living like a million dollars in debt

You don't become an artist till you're fucked in the head

It's been so long

And my life has changed

It's an old song

But it bites the same

And if you like it, then you might just be insane

(You're insane, you're insane, you're insane)

But if you want it, then I'll bring it back

Live forever, never fade to black

Cause I'm an artist, and it's my job to entertain

(Entertain, entertain)

Lemme hear you say

Oh I need professional help

I am an artist and I hate myself

Oh I need professional help

I am an artist and I hate myself

Oh I need professional help

I am an artist and I hate myself

Oh I need professional help

I am an artist and I hate myself

I am an artist

I am unique

I say I'm normal but I'm really a freak

Hi it's very nice to meet you call me Alex Liu

I'll tell you all my secrets though they're not always true

My attachment issues run deep as oceans exploding

I seem proud to admit to people I don't feel emotion

And now I go to therapy yet keeping so much unspoken

4 years later it's clear to see that I'm still fucking broken

Yeah it's been so long

And my life has changed

It's an old song

But it bites the same

And if you like it, then you might just be insane

(You're insane, you're insane, you're insane)

But if you want it, then I'll bring it back

Live forever, never fade to black

Cause I'm an artist, and I make empathy from pain

(I'm in pain, I'm in pain)

Lemme hear you say

Oh I need professional help

I am an artist and I hate myself

Oh I need professional help

I am an artist and I hate myself

Oh I need professional help

I am an artist and I hate myself

Oh I need professional help

I am an artist and I hate myself

In this new world yeah it kinda hits different doesn't it?

I no longer crave fame, just someone who'll listen, fuck it

There's no game to play, no danger to abstain from

Eventually we all return to where we came from

So make your shit, draw your pictures, fuck the ones you want

Keep the day job, write a novel, use an ugly font

The world is better with your brain in the mix

And to all my crazy fans, I'd like to thank you with this

If you don't hate me, and you like this song

And when you play it, you can sing along

Well then I thank you, it really makes my fucking day

While we're together, yeah we'll bring it back

Live forever, never fade to black

Cause we are artists, and we make empathy from pain

(We're in pain, we're in pain)

Lemme hear you say

Oh I need professional help

I am an artist and I hate myself

Oh I need professional help

I am an artist and I hate myself

Oh I need professional help

I am an artist and I hate myself

Oh I need professional help

I am an artist and I hate myself
