lyrics

We're all suffering for our art
We're all suffering for our art

On long road trips
We listen to podcasts
Laughing the landscapes
Makes the miles go by
Life's long suffering
Is softened by companionship
Stuck in this traffic
Is ok with love

We wanted to move away
Start something fresh
It wasn't in the cards
We're just so in debt
How do you even do it?
Can you ever Houdini?
Without losing face
Without facing death?

Life is the long suffering
Only the dirty don't pay
We suffer for pleasure
We suffer to give it away

Life is the long suffering
Only the dirty don't pay
We suffer for pleasure
We suffer to give
We all get death anyway

I gave away all of my keepsakes
All my books and toys
They tied me to my memories
But I can't take 'em when I go
Why do we collect things anyway?
Does it ease the pain?
Does it give us meaning
Or hope that we can stay?

I gave away all my stories
Told them all for free
Hoping someone else would value
The songs of you and me
Mostly they sit in the aether
Collecting digital dust
A copy of my suffering
Just bits and bytes of lust

Life is the long suffering
Only the dirty don't pay
We suffer for pleasure
We suffer to give it away

Life is the long suffering
Only the dirty don't pay
We suffer for pleasure
We suffer to give
We all get death anyway
