the artist state ft. Pilate's Dream Lyrics

So no more living a lie

I'm swimming in the images

In the back of my mind

And I'm blind

To all the trouble and the strife

Living life at double speed

Was not enough, I choose light

Am I right, am I wrong

That's the wrong question

Every night writing songs

That's the god's blessing

Just a boy

Without a word to his name

I'm walking the same path

I'm working to change

It's so strange

That its hard to relate

This is me free-falling

Into the artist state

We can take a break

But I ain't willing to wait

This is never gonna happen

Unless it happens today

So you should stay

If you want to see something great

This is me free-falling

Into the artist state

Run away or pick a place

That's far enough out of the way

This is never going to happen

Unless it happens today

Sometimes, (Sometimes)

My eyes are crying so blind

(Eyes are crying so blind)

I told you that I needed more from you

(More)

And she never listens to me

She never listens,

She never listens to me

Crashing waves,

People laughing, it's all the same

Whatever it takes

To make it happen, to lift me away

For a day or a week,

Or an hour or a minute

If I start scared and bleak

I'll be power tripping by the finish

It's so easy to play the rewind

You'll see I'm really trying

Not to make it a habit of mine

It's taking up half of my time

I remember the happier times

I remember things

That never even happened

And the planet's light

That shines so bright

Across horizons

That why lie, aren't worth

Trying to describe

I'm in the sky with diamonds

With my Lucy by my side

Don't know where we'll be arriving

But Imma take it in stride

So you should stay

If you want to see something great

This is me free-falling

Into the artist state

Run away or pick a place

That's far enough out of the way

This is never going to happen

Unless it happens today

Sometimes, (Sometimes)

My eyes are crying so blind

(Eyes are crying so blind)

I told you that I needed more from you

(More)

And she never listens to me

She never listens,

She never listens to me

Just trying to make the feeling last

Imma make it mine

And make it do exactly what I ask

'Til the last breath I ever sigh

Followed by a gasp

Imma hold on so tight

It might start to crack

Don't break it

And don't take it too far from home

Remember where you made it from

Whenever you're in Rome

So whenever you roam

You have a piece of home with you

And whenever you're alone

You have a phone that you can pick up, yeah

They rolled him back

On the imperial gurney

And he told them the story

Of his hero's journey

Then he screamed at the doctor

You will return me!

To that little town that I grew up in

Something's out of place

But I don't question what I make

This is me free-falling

Into the artist state

So run away or find a space

Where you can see what's going down

Because this is happening today

Right here, right now
