the news

July Talk

if only everything that happened in our dreams were true and nothing bad could ever happen to you when we feel too much we'd just wake up
and all the longing to belong would always be enough
gimme context, without context everything is true
only nothing that happens only happens to you

if the news should ever break our way
will we still hear the truth of someone that's been left behind
and if truth should ever be unkind
will we still know that everything that's true is by design
and that everything that's true is ours to find

i woke up i was the same but all my dreams had died
what fucking happened?
guess everyone who spoke in tongues had lied
in the lobby watched the dawning of a different side
gimme context, without context everything is true
besides nothing that happens only happens to you

if the news should ever break our way
would we still hear the truth of someone that's been left behind
and if truth should ever be unclear
will we still know that everything that's fair is hard to hear
and that everything breaks down in love and fear

everything that happens
everything that happens
everything that happens

if the news should ever break our way
will we still hear the truth of someone that's been left behind
and if truth should ever be unkind
will we still know that everything that's true is by design
and that everything that's true's hard to define
and that everything that's true is ours to find

what fucking happened?
