Matter

You can say the words to their faces

They won't listen

You can sound it any way you can

And you tell your dreams to the world

They won't listen

Your hopes and invention

Don't matter to them

But they matter to me.

And your whispers sing like sirens to me

Standing by like a hero

With nothing to save

Up against all the water,

Wind, and the waves

Take a moment just to shield your face

Shut your mouth

Let your secrets keep their place

You'll tell them to no one

But you can tell them to me.

And your sentiments are diamonds to me.
