lyrics

Does anyone else find stacks of blank printer paper exciting
It’s not that I’m drawn to the paper itself
Although if you think about it printer paper is a natural and industrial marvel
What excites me
Are the myriad possibilities the stack of paper presents
Grab a pen and each of those five-hundred sheets can become, well, anything

All my creative types
Whether you were made to paint or blaze a mic
Into game design or thinking up a play to write
But you know this ain’t a phase. It’s a way of life. I feel you
From every draft you discard
To all you have to miss to practice this hard
From every scratch to mix to mastered hit
To every scratch on the pickguard of your guitar
This is art. And they don’t have to get
Why you’re passionate about fashion
Or rapping or snapping pics. The fact of the matter
Is what matters is the fact that you have a gift
So keep using it. Show the world what beauty is
Show the world what truly is
Help us view through the mist of usualness
And make sense of the confusing bits
We need you to wreck the walls
A barrier buried. A fence dissolved
Art softens hearts and connects us all
If you were made to create then respect the call
Let’s go
