Artist's Curse

Artist's Curse

How could this happen to me?
I try to hold on to the times
when there was a reason to be
looking past all the lies...

who have i loved
that you couldn't have?
What have i done
that you wouldn't have?

Artist's blessing, such a curse
I see beauty you can never behold
I wish i could save this earth
But i am watching it be destroyed.

who have i loved
that you couldn't have?
What have i done
that you wouldn't have?

Everyone I love will someday leave
Nothing I create will ever breathe
Every regret or mistake you make
a piece or artwork, a stroke of paint.

who have i loved
that you couldn't have?
What have i done
that you wouldn't have?

just like the blood that won't wash away
just like a scar of your forgotten pain
Changing, creating every detail of strife
of your blank and pure canvass, your life.

who have i loved
that you couldn't have?
What have i done
that you wouldn't have?

Artist's Curse- you can't erase paint
So decide your fate before its too late.
I've ruined this picture by one mistake
Another portrait of life for death to take.

who have i loved
that you couldn't have
What have i done
that you wouldn't have?

Everyone I love will soon leave...
Nothing I create will ever breathe...
