a soviet artist’s response to unjust criticism - half empty glasshouse lyrics

stalin is in the audience
what a most unpleasant honor
this was supposed to be my glorious night
the night where my cherished creation comes to life
i’ve carefully distilled the unspoken dread and horror of our time
into a form abstract enough to evade denunciation
or so i thought
stalin is in the audience
i didn’t know he would be here himself
but i know that he is not here to enjoy the show
is it too late to edit the score?
to purge it of all its so*called “western decadence”?

artistic integrity is tough to maintain when you know what they could do to your family

maybe someday the historians will look back to me with great interest
and theorize about the masterpiece i could’ve created if not for the circumstances
they will search for mockery in my work and scour each page for a hint of defiance
and they will perform all these dangerous pieces i’ve hidden in my desk drawer
but to h*ll with legacy
that sh*t is for the dead
and i was meant to compose life as it is

beauty by mandate is not beauty at all
beauty by mandate is not beauty at all…
