The Artist

Is the mic on
Alright thanks
You see the artist is always under pressure
From so many sides
You can never really get away from it
Regardless of where you turn
There's a demand being made from you
Pressure from the executives
From the consumers
And there's pressure from within as well
But my fear is this
When you start to cater only to the pressure from outside
Your art is no longer as true as it should be
And in the long run what's the point of an artist
Who never says how she feels
How he feels
But always says how everybody else expects him or her to be feeling
