Been making art, been making mess

Been making art, been making mess, Digging up dreams I’d long suppressed. Found ‘em in a box at the edge of space, Dusted ‘em off, put ‘em back in place. Learning hard lines, testing the breaks, Life keeps the score with the risks I take. Down to the wire, but still on my feet Writing my story on an offbeat sheet What I’ve been doing recently? Building ten new versions of me. Editing, writing, grinding, surviving, Changing my style, accessorizing. Yeah, I’ve been busy, endlessly That’s what I’ve been doing recently. Pressing all the buttons, seeing what they do, Breaking old habits, learning something new. Less distracted by the noise in my head, Making more room for the good stuff instead. Side gigs stacked and the hustle is tight, Factotum Bukowski, drunk on spite. Dreams on the dash, bills in the breeze, Knocking on doors ’til someone believes. What I’ve been doing recently? Building ten new versions of me. Editing, writing, grinding, surviving, Changing my style, accessorizing. Yeah, I’ve been busy, endlessly That’s what I’ve been doing recently. Installing, uninstalling, reinstalling too, Bureaucracy wrangling, it’s what I do. Perfecting my spin through the paperwork maze, Turning breakdown nights into belt-scarf days. What I’ve been doing recently? Becoming my own damn company. If no one funds me for my flair, I’ll build my empire out of thin air. Yeah, I’ve been busy, endlessly That’s what I’ve been doing recently. Making more room for the good stuff instead. Making some art, making some mess Writing my story on an offbeat sheet Knocking on doors ’til someone believes. Turning breakdown nights into belt-scarf days. Yeah, I’ve been busy, endlessly That’s what I’ve been doing recently. 2025 Lyrics by Nikki H. / GenXDreams
