Auto­-Artíst
-----------------

I just wanna know – the truth about me

I want to know – so I can set myself free

I am choosing myself – honing my being

Oh, you need to wake up to be an auto­artíst

I don’t wanna put it off – cause I know what that means

Sell myself out – and hope for better downstream

Being what I want to be – only in dreams

Oh, you need to be aware to an auto­artíst

Oh, you need to be aware to an auto­artíst

An auto­artíst, an auto­artíst

I don’t wanna tell a story – keeps me fettered in a cage

Shatter shackling delusions – with my hammer and rage

I am ending the sentence – I imposed upon me

Busting out of this prison – authenticity

Busting out of this prison – authenticity

Busting out of this prison – authenticity

Authenticity, authenticity, authenticity
