Rent I Pay Lyrics

Seems to be about the life of being in a band. He's saying that all the shit that happens to him, like losing tapes, everybody knowing where you've been, is "the rent" he's paying in order to live his dream. It's an honest, positive outlook on the life of a musician, saying "sometimes it sucks but it's worth it in the end".
