Boom Bip – The Matter lyrics

I know it makes you feel sad
Then you look at me that way
Your hands hold on the railing
As we glide across the bay

With everything uncertain
It's easy to defend
But we do not talk of feelings
And you know I can't pretend

I don't believe in the power of love
I don't believe in the wisdom of stone
I don't believe in a God or the mind
But I am not alone

I listen to you breathing
Its steady and its slow
We lie close to the ceiling
I think of children in our home

But the quiet in the quarters
Stirs me from the thought
I might leave tommorow
To feel the joy of a new start

I don't believe in the power of love
I don't believe in the wisdom of stone
I don't believe in a God or the mind

In the morning many seabirds
On the icy wind arive
Never crowding their companions
Against the blinding sky they die

I think about you sleeping
How you'll miss the morning tide
But my stomach is uneasy
And I choose to stay outside

I don't believe in the power of love
I don't believe in the wisdom of stone
I don't believe in a God or the mind
I'm not alone
