deep down in my soul
lie the stories of old
they come up to the surface
with no warning nor control

these lines carved into my heart
left an artwork of scars
and art wants to be seen
although it might be hard

have a close look
can you see?

every line, every curve, every detail
was meant to be
this is art, this is art
every shadow, every edge, every flaw
makes you who you are
this is art
this is who you are

another sudden earthquake
my mind and body shake
at least i feel the pain
it means i am awake

the pain i used to hide
has now turned into pride
and as long as i can feel the pain
it means i am alive

have a close look
you will see

my eyes are open wide
and now that you are by my side
i will paint a brand new artwork
and create a brand new life

this is art
this ist art
this is art
this is who you are
you are art
