Everybody Knows the Truth

servant to no sweetheart convenience
no collapsing life size emotional abbacus
this transaction dosen't tear my soul apart
just burn a hole in my pocket but not in my heart

and the head keeps taking more than it's giving
this type of affinity dosen't feel like living
black crosses up on a calendar speak
so many moments that can't be made to meet

i started walking
'cause my heart was frozen and i couldn't feel a thing
your door was open
there were flowers on the table holding up the ceiling

over the city were
the guys
and the guns
the money
and the drugs
only looking for a quiet place to be
where the future never comes

and the something you're gathering ain't never gonna be enough
just keep on filling it up
and filling it up
and the difference between
what you want and what you need
if your heart's not safe at night
it's much harder to breath

i started walking
'cause my heart was frozen
i couldn't feel a thing
your door was open
there were flowers on the table holding up the ceiling

over the city were
the guys
and the guns
the money
and the drugs
only looking for a little patch of green
where the future never comes

i started walking
i started walking
through the birds and the drunks
still singing in the park
i found you watching all the lovers walk around
like they're glowing in the dark

over the city were
the guys
and the guns
the money
and the drugs
only looking for somewhere else to be
where the future never comes

inside the city were
the guys
with guns
the money
the drugs
i count my blessings for this little patch of green
where the future never comes

"The Futurist" - Something for Kate

Consider this song entirely bolded. I know I ask this question a lot, but seriously, what are the odds? What are the odds that Something for Kate would release a song - their ONLY new song - that just happens to perfectly describe where I am right now?

I heart this song.

And Paul equals lyrical genius.
