The Numbers Don't Lie
Eric Novak
(in key of c#, royal road in intro and pre-chorus)

I like my science and I like my math
Oh so rational
I like to lay out the steps in my path
Map out each phase as I move through the world
And take action
'Cause as we all know
The numbers don't lie

We don't get anything done
Take any measure
Lay it out end to end
We still come up lacking

We can't count anything done
If that's true why bother
Not enough to push and bend
Not enough to love each other
'Cause as we all know
As we all know
The numbers don't lie

I remember dreaming of being with you
I'd give you anything
I'd try to write you the perfect tune
Map out the royal road to your heart
with precision
'Cause as we all know
The numbers don't lie

We don't get anything done
By any measure
Lay it out end to end
We still come up lacking

We can't count anything done
If that's true why bother
I guess it's not enough to push and bend
Not enough to love each other
'Cause as we all know
As we all know
The numbers don't lie

Really interesting, I think might be a grower for me. I like the ideas a lot. some really nice sparkly synths.

As I said in the LP Chat. Really enjoying your songs getting better as this has gone on. MGMT feels in the doubled vox parts. Maybe I'd make this a little shorter… small nitpick. Feels like I'm in a haze… shimmery.
