Art is long and life is short So paint your voice and draw your nerve. If your sound cannot be heard close your eyes and feel the words. From within a noise will grow Upon your skin it's waves will show. A map of a lifetime for all to see Just a stitch in the fabric of eternity. There's never the time to say what's wrong So paint it down and make it strong. Sing it out loud if that's what feels right Do it right now, feel the delight. Life is short and art is long So dance your life and live your song.

Ars longa vita brevis.
Art is long and life is short So paint your voice and draw your nerve. If your sound cannot be heard close your eyes and feel the words. From within a noise will grow Upon your skin it's waves will show. A map of a lifetime for all to see Just a stitch in the fabric of eternity. There's never the time to say what's wrong So paint it down and make it strong. Sing it out loud if that's what feels right Do it right now, feel the delight. Life is short and art is long So dance your life and live your song.
