Artists Don't Smile

(álbum: Loop Soup - 2023)

You said, I look way too happy
I wear too many colors
Like a kid in school
You said it would be less tacky
If only I was distant
If I played it cool

You want high fashion but I give commercial
So my disposition is not controversial enough
Yeah, I should be tough
I show my reactions, the second I have 'em
My face is a mirror, whether laughter or tears show up
So guess what?
'Cause

Artists don't smile
You gotta be gotta be
Tortured, and dark
It's so in vogue to be
Artists don't smile
You gotta be gotta be
Sad and serious all the time

Turn that smile upside down (Smile)
You look so hot right now (Smile)
Turn that smile upside down (Smile)
'Cause artists don't, don't smile

"So guys
When we get in the club
Don't look
Anyone in the eyes
That's how you get the respect of the room
That's what the beautiful people do"
No lie
Nobody roots for the nice guy
Ain't no wonder why

That's how you get the respect of the room
That's what the beautiful people do
I show my reactions, the second I have 'em
My face is a mirror, whether laughter or tears show up
But that's fucked
But

Artists don't smile
You gotta be gotta be
Tortured, and dark
It's so in vogue to be
Artists don't smile
You gotta be gotta be
Sad and serious all the time

Turn that smile upside down (Smile)
You look so hot right now (Smile)
Turn that smile upside down (Smile)
'Cause artists don't, don't smile

You said, I look way too happy
I wear too many colors
Like a kid in school
'Cause

Artists don't smile
You gotta be gotta be
Tortured, and dark
It's so in vogue to be
Artists don't smile
You gotta be gotta be
Sad and serious all the time

Turn that smile upside down (Smile)
You look so hot right now (Smile)
Turn that smile upside down (Smile)
'Cause artists don't, don't smile
