I Know a Lot of Artists - Slaves

I know I see this all the time

I see the trouble in your eyes

Trouble that money can’t fix

And you still dig your ditch

I usually fall for that same old cycle

You see it in white and black

And I’m in the middle

Well I don’t want the same

Maybe I should explain

I’ve been through this before

Get it all off your chest

No need to pretend that you won’t come undone

Come undone

You used to tell me everyday

You know exactly how I get

That’s right, I know how you get

That’s why I’m walking away

I’ve learned from this

Broken down, rebuilt from it

You can say you’re different

But it’s clear you’re still the same

I usually fall for that same old cycle

You see it in white and black

And I’m in the middle

Well I don’t want the same

Maybe I should explain

I’ve been through this before

Get it all off your chest

No need to pretend that you won’t come undone

Come undone

I’ve learned from this

Broken down, rebuilt from it

You can say you’re different

But it’s clear you’re still the same

Sleep in the bed that you made

I know that someone will save ya

They’re gonna see all your lies

Ain’t no cryin tonight

It’s gonna catch ya right where I know it’s gonna hurt you most

Well I don’t want the same

Maybe I should explain

I’ve been through this before

Get it all off your chest

No need to pretend that you won’t come undone

Come undone

Watch you coming undone

Watch you coming undone

Coming undone

Coming undone
