Starving Artists - Chris Murray

starving artists all the same

filled with dreams and desire

all addicted to the pain

either tortured or tired

never fit inside the frame as required

doesn’t fortune come with fame

guess that guy was a liar

time to find another game

cult heroes for hire

eating humble pie plain and shittin' fire

can you tell me, where can fate be

I been waiting now, waiting for so long

for you to take me where I belong

where I belong

what’s the going price of pain

here’s an interested buyer

for my suffering soul

just a little bit higher

so you wanna touch the flame

then feel the fire

can you tell me, where can fate be

I been waiting now, waiting for so long

can you tell me, why is faith so strong

where can I get me some

and if I fool myself

that there’s nothing wrong

and call it strength

well it’ll keep me going

what keeps me hangin' on

to paint the perfect picture

to write the perfect song

the unattainable — it’s what I want

can you tell me, where can fate be

I been waiting now, waiting for so long

for you to tell me, where did faith go wrong

where did faith go wrong

can you tell me

can you tell me

are starving artists all the same?
