Make Art Not Friends - Sturgill Simpson

Looking out the window at a world on fire

It’s plain to see the end is near

Seen all the sights

Tired of the lights

So you could let me off right here

This town is getting crowded

Truth’s been shrouded

I think it’s time to change up the sound

Yeah, the wheels keep turning

The flames gettin' higher

Another cycle goes around

Face in the mirror, all skin and bones

Bloodshot eyes and a heart of stone

Never again, rather be alone

Think I’m gonna just stay home

And make art, not friends

I love saying no to all the yes-men

Just to see the look on their face

Love how everybody knows what’s best

But nobody knows their place

Sucker ever second, stack 'em up to the sky

For every winner there’s a hundred that died

So you get yours and stay outta mine

Here’s to the memories, where do I sign?

Face in the mirror, all skin and bones

Bloodshot eyes and a heart of stone

Never again, rather be alone

Think I’m gonna just stay home

And make art, not friends

Oh, it’s getting hard to find a good friend

So close the door behind you

Before anymore come in

Nobody writes, nobody calls

Nobody bother 'cause I’m over it all

Face in the mirror, all skin and bones

Bloodshot eyes and a heart of stone

Never again, rather be alone

Think I’m gonna just stay home

And make art, not friends
