Lance Carthen - An Artist

Do you find me sexy
When I write for you
Do you find me strange
provoking thoughts to you
Symbolism's dark glitter
I know your eye's are glued
I am your puppet
The one you did strange things too
See....I am an artist
Drawing a picture for you too see
I...am an artist
Accept this strange new world from me
Tear jerking lines
Expressions of darkness you feel inside
Drug induced dreams
Are things really as they seem
The truth and lies
Contemplations when your high
Heaven and hell
Is your soul for sale?
You see a tear..
Its worth...a million lines
A scar inside
Revealing secrets you hide
How many times have you really smiled
Was it sincere?
Was it a lie?
The artist inside..
Saves you from being blind
Opening your eye's
Seeing the other side
Dreams and the night
Visions offerings of fright
Alive and dead
Is it all in your head?
And I...am an artist
I write what I feel
Through passions and pain
I...am an artist
There's nothing to lose
Real freedom to gain
