The Art of Living Lyrics

Everybody looks right through me

Like I'm a piece of glass

I feel more like a mirror

Reflecting some long lost past

Its been a long, long time

Since I've felt at home

I keep wearing this stranger's face

Hoping they'll all just leave me alone

The art of living

The aesthetics of life

Forget truth, forget freedom

Just try not lying to yourself.

I know you don't have the answers

And the questions only hurt

So let's take our longings

Crush them down in the cold, cold dirt

Its been a long, long road

And it all looks the same

Same people, same circumstance

All misfired at close range

The price of living

A pound of flesh on the scales

Is a debt whose payment buys

One more coffin, one more nail

The fact of living

Is it travels fast

Yeah, it's corruptible

Yeah, it was never built to last

I forgot the rules to this game

Is it no regrets is the best

Or maybe regrets are all we have left

When we settle down take our final rest

If I had a dream to come true

It would be one about me and you

It would include a big front porch
