Welcome To The Process

do we control our art or are we controlled by it?
do we live by impulse following thoughtless faulty pleasures?
do we drop all loyalties when inspiration calls?
do we break other ties in desperate attempts to follow desire?
do we forget how to relate in order to relate to our calling?
do we choose imagined characters over living, breathing friends?
do we live in the process instead of living in reality?
do we deny real connections to feel free to live our art?
do we jump at the chance to feel when fully numb?
do we rely on applause to remind us we're alive?
do we hold our breath, refusing to breathe without conviction?
do we sacrifice just to feel like we're succeeding?
do we choose this life or are we somehow set apart?
do we know who we are or are we looking to be found?
do we exist in the flesh or are we drifting muses marked?
do we know what we want or are we running forward blindly?
do we experience emotion or does it simply flow through us?

do we control our art or are we controlled by it?
