about

"I'm Not Van Gogh" was written as a coping mechanism dealing with the frustrations implicit in creative endeavors.

lyrics

Another great piece in the can; by any other gauge
Left awash in a sea of the information age

I’m not Van Gogh, I repeat out loud
I’m not Van Gogh, I’m not that proud

Another day with the work, here in this cage
Staring without focus on the emptiness of the blank page
Hollow words, fading lines, and aimless notes
Waiting for someone to cast their vote

I’m not Van Gogh, I repeat out loud
I’m not Van Gogh, I’m not that proud

And not that I wouldn’t cut off an ear for you,
It’s that you know this is something I have to do
Implacably building resume – scaling a very steep hill
Starry nights in a loop – all grist for the mill

Another great piece left in the can, by any other gauge
Left adrift in a sea of the information age
Uploaded for family and friends, and enemies
Never grabbing the attention of powers-that-oversee

I’m not Van Gogh, I repeat out loud
I’m not Van Gogh, I’m not that proud

I’m not Van Gogh, I repeat out loud
I’m not Van Gogh, I’m not that proud
