Artcore 

(words and music by Eike Moriz)

A hundred times around the sun, I’ve turned in restless sleep  

Ladyfingers painting circles in the dust I keep.  

Cracked reflections in the mirror, pieces fall away,  

Every day, I dig a little deeper, until I fade away.

Phoenix burning under my skin - Rise again to begin

We dig out our only-ness - to bear our loneliness  

Together we fly, seek the obscure and find something pure:  

Artcore, artcore

Glitter in the shadows, paper masks from yesterday - 

I carve my name into the silence as I walk away.  

Sparks in hidden corners, secrets leak like light - 

Chasing every color until wrong and right ignite.

Phoenix burning under my skin  - Rise again to begin

We dig out our only-ness - to bear our loneliness  

Together we cry, seek the obscure and find something pure:  

Artcore, artcore

Oh, from the shadows we create and find understanding  

Every flaw, a brushstroke on my canvas expanding  

Oh, shattered but alive - look inside, you’ll see  

We are artcore, we are free!

Oh, we dig out our only-ness - to bear our loneliness  

Together we fly, seek the obscure and find something pure:  

Artcore, artcore 

We break, we soar a hundred times around the sun -  

Now we know the core.
