I Don't Want To Be An Artist

My good gobbalins and girlies Mortals and mifits Ghouls and grembolins I present to you now the award winning polymath of stage and stream Kate Nyx! I don't want to be an artist I don't think I want to starve Sure I do love to draw and paint but Someday I'd like to own a car I don't want to make my living Doing song and dance Unfortunately, It's destiny And art is who I am I don't want to be unique, no It'd be nice to just fit in To be comfy in my status quo What it would be to feel akin To the average joe who, don't you know, turns his work in on time Unfortunately, it's destiny So the artiste am I I'd love to have a nine to five I trudged through every day Cursing my boss for keeping me criminally underpaid Maybe if I was normal I would finally be free Cause every year the IRS would send a check to me I didn't mean to be creator I didn't mean to tell a joke At some point I had to admit My plans for life went up in smoke I was cursed to make my living selling what I make Unfortunately, between you and me I think destiny is fake! At first I thought that I was gripped by siren songs of fame That I just wanted the whole world to remember my name Or is it that I want to lie to everyone I meet When someone asks what I do for a living on the street I don't want be an artist I don't want to feel the pain Of failing at something you care about Publicly admitting shame I just want to make things I like and do nothing else at all Unfortunately, between you and me "Artist" is what that's called Unfortunately, between you and me "Artist" is what that's called
