Non Believer - Joel Plaskett

We walk under these city lights

We stand under the darkest nights

And I can’t imagine anything more up there beyond the sky

I went to church on Christmas Eve

For the first time in a century

I sang the carols but I could not believe

This non-believer

My dad said, «Son, there’s nothing else

Before you love someone you gotta learn to love yourself

Know when they’re gone they will be truly be gone

So don’t you waste your time»

But I wasted time in the dye I cast

I will not blame this on my past

I broke your heart

Just messing around

This non-believer

Open up my eyes to find

You’ve learned a few tricks in your time

And I spend my days just treading water

Never learning how to swim

My friends and family call me up

Say «You're all right, but what the fuck?»

What were you thinking

Choose your head, foolish non-believer"

It’s buried deep but I suspect

There is something here to resurrect

People collide, buildings collapse

Gotta try again

I don’t believe there is a plan

Feels too much like an accident
