Weakerthans - Manifest

i ^Cwant to call requests through heating-v^Gents, and ^Fhear them answered with a whispered, &^Cquot;no." to ^Ccrack the code of muscle, slacken, ^Gtense. let ^Fevery second step in boots on ^Csnow ^Ccomplete your name with accents i can't ^Gplace, that ^Fstumble where the syllables ^Ccombine. take ^Cdepositions from a stranger's ^Gface. paint ^Fevery insignificance a ^Csign.

so ^Ftell me nothing matters, less or ^Gmore. ^Csay, "whatever we think act^Fions are, we'll ^Fnever know what anything was ^Gfor." if &^Cquot;near is just as far awa^Fy as far,"

and i'm ^Cpermitted one act i can ^Gsave, i ^Fchoose to sit here next to you and ^Cwave.
