Overexposed

Middle seat
12-hour all-night drive
Pins and needles they break
Actions make more of a mess
Than words can make

Like a picture
I was overexposed
Believe me
I saw it with my eyes closed

A waxed ledge
Darkened from dirt and grinds
Break all your bones
Before they’re grown
You’ll never pay off
All of your loans

Like a picture
I was overexposed
Believe me
I saw it with my eyes closed

Let’s wake the world
And sing them back to sleep
But people don’t listen
So we’ll scream and shout
As if these words are cheap

Like a picture
I was overexposed
Believe me
I still see it with my eyes closed
