Weakerthans - (manifest) Lyrics lyrics

rate me

I want to call requests through heating-vents, and hear them

answered with a whisper, "No." To crack the code of muscle,

slacken, tense. Let every second step in boots on snow

complete your name with accents I can't place, that stumble

where the syllables combine. Take depositions from a

stranger's face. Paint every insignificance a sign. So tell me

nothing matters, less or more. Say, "Whatever we think

actions are, we'll never know what anything was for." If "Near

is just as far away as far," and I'm permitted one act I can

save, I choose to sit here next to you and wave.
