lyrics

Work Of Art

I am a work of art
Shallow on the outside
With a deeper meaning
Hidden somewhere even I can't find

And I am your biggest dreams
Laughing in your face
Cause you couldn't make it
But neither could I guess I'm just a fake

But who am I to judge when all I've ever done is not enough
And who am I to speak when all I've ever seen Is the dirt under my feet

I am a masterpiece
Sculpted from the gods
But they made a mistake
Because under the marble I am a fraud

So who am I to judge when all I've ever done Is not enough
And who am I to speak when all I've ever seen Is the dirt under my feet

They say a man is not what he has done
But what one day he will become
And I'm becoming something that I am not
I've been faking it my whole life now I've been caught

Or maybe I'm just a tiny speck
Watching stars collide
With no deeper meaning
And just as shallow on the outside
