Your Life Will Always Fail
Even if you try to do
everything to make art
your life, you will always fail
Even if you try to do
everything to make your life
your art, you will always fail
Even if you try to seize
your life to make everything
your art, you will always fail
Your art will always be changed by your life
Your life will always be failed by your art
Your art your life your failure
