From the recording Spinoza's Dream (2016)
Lyrics
No Matter How Close
Dave Nachmanoff
We were kids when everything started
Sure that nothing could tear us apart
Time has opened up our eyes, made us start to realize
The solipsist condition of the heart (2x)
At the table, a fight over nothing
Language fails, I can’t read the signs
All communication, lost in the translation
Wishing I could get inside your mind (2x)
CHORUS:
No matter how close two people have grown
At the end of it all, we each face life alone
Still we try to break through the silence
Though the effort has taken its toll
Reaching to get through the walls that seems to lie between us all
The solitary nature of the soul (2x)
Like a venn diagram, two circles overlapping
There are times when the signal gets through
But I can't really know how it feels to be you
(CHORUS 2x)
