Weakerthans, The - Uncorrected Proofs lyrics

The mirrors & the unacknowledged knots
Dial tones & license plates,
and words you didn´t choose.
Everything the day is too small to hold,
spills onto the dusk,
and shortens the evening´s feuds.
So you fumble for a voice,
and sing happy birthday.

Read it to yourself again;
stories always end the same.
He can not stay but she won´t run;
the fear is where they are calling from.

Stunts the blood from countless tiny cuts,
but we are all out of bandages.
The heater´s rattle taunt.
Sifting through translucent shards of glass,
looking for the filament,
that lit the life you want.
So you stumble for the phone,
grasp with chord & you pull.

Will your leadership complain,
stories always end the same.
She can not stay but he won´t run;
the fear is where they are calling from.

Afraid is where you are calling from.

Afraid is where we lived for far too long.
