Weakerthans - Letters Of Resignation Lyrics lyrics

rate me

Takes a dried up ball-point, lemon juice and water, keeps a

diary invisibly, In the kitchen corner of a basement bachelor

suite there's a certain search for certainty, you know we'll

never see her hands touch her childhood home in photos that

she took. It's one more omission from a high school history

book; how whole lives get knifed and pushed aside. To whom

it may concern... (to whom it may concern) There's a bus

thats leaving half an hour from now. (this is to inform) It

won't take her where she really wants to go. (yours sincerely

yours) So she sits there with her luggage at her side. (yours

sincerely yours) in the empty stations of our empty lives.

Take a broken bottle. Take a rafter beam. Take a needle and

a tarnished spoon. Or just words to kill off one more unheard

statement of another dying afternoon. She says she's leaving

soon. So so long to ten hour shifts and faking sympathies.

Farewell to piles of bills, unpayed utilities. All rolled up and

unfurled like a flag. Wake up and pack your bag. To whom it

may concern... (to whom it may concern) There's a bus that's

leaving half an hour from now. (this is to inform) It won't take

her where she really wants to go. (yours sincerely yours) So

she sits there with her luggage at her side. (yours sincerely

yours) leaving empty stations, leaving empty lives.
