Verbs

from God Knows What by Conductors

/

lyrics

“To die” is not an active verb.
It happens - it isn’t done.
"Being sneezed on", "being spit upon"
those are verbs, those are things I do.

You need to find what you should endure
and what you cannot stand to stomach.
Then you might live well with others
But patience in one is not enough for some

When you live beneath other people
you sometimes wonder if they’re knocking on your ceiling
or only walking on their floor.
I’ve never been able to know for sure.

I s’pose I'm OK with being on display.
It seems you always are anyway.

I didn't wonder if my friendships were hollow,
but I heard that empty sound in others.
I don’t wish to prove my honesty,
but sincerity still worries me.

I s’pose we’ve all become strangers once,
leaving our familiar homes.
There’s some mystery in every face
and great distances in a tiny space.

Just drink up your blood like wine
An’ I said, 'Oh, I didn’t know that
But then again, there’s only one I’ve met
An’ he just smoked my eyelids
An’ punched my cigarette' " ... more
