Overexposure Lyrics by The Drowns

View From The Bottom

2018

[Verse 1]
\nAnother empty page in a book I've yet to live
\nFake smiles and mismatched styles are all I've got to give
\nA tuneful melody to brighten up the gloom
\nI'll be your tragic penny dreadful you can dance to in your room
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nA bottle outside keeps the inside bottled too
\n'Til I can pour and chase it with a joke or two
\nThrow on a three piece suit and set it with a grin
\nSo the patrons at the bar don't know the wretched state I'm in
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nIs this all there is? 'Cause I need more
\nAnd I can't pay my bills with exposure
\nThis isn't what we signed up for
\nAnd I can't pay the rent
\n
\n[Verse 3]
\nWell, where'd you get that sour outlook, mister?
\nWell, I sold my soul for dimes to make it so
\nAin't you got no happy tunes to sing me?
\nI'm sorry, I don't write them anymore
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nIs this all there is? 'Cause I need more
\nAnd I can't pay my bills with exposure
\n'Cause this ain't what we signed up for
\nAnd I can't pay the rent with exposure
\nAnd I can't pay the rent with exposure (I can't pay the rent)
\nThen how am I supposed to pay my fucking rent?\n\n
