The Verb

[Verse 1]
What's the verb to cut it off?
To take a knife and hack away at it?
You keep saying, well, that's the last time
You'll pretend to stand aside no matter what we did
I'm not playing
All in all then just enough to
Keep us sliding back to where we were
I'm not waiting
That's the last time you'll get friends who
Will tell you that you walked away with it
When you barely scraped through

[Chorus]
I'm tired of fighting, she said
Your words just rattle my head
All joy escapes in the dark
And I can't make this make sense
Your words are lost to me now
I cannot take it, I'm out
I'm stuck here kidding myself
'Cause you're out there caring somewhere

[Verse 2]
So what's the verb to kick it off?
To take the time and walk away from it?
I'm not playing
That'll never sit with us well
We're far too pious to get out of it
And we're on our way

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I'm tired of fighting, you said
Your words just rattle my head
All joy's escaped in the dark
And I can't make this make sense
Your thoughts are lost to me now
I cannot take it, I'm out
I'm stuck here killing myself
You're out there drinking somewhere
(Stand on the spot, work out where you are and take it all from there)
I'm sorry I've lost all my hope
I cannot take it no more
I'm stuck here kidding myself
And you're out there laughing somewhere
(Running away won't change anything, it only puts it off)
I'll tear my heart out no more
I'll burn this bridge till it's gone
I'm stuck here killing myself
And you're out there laughing somewhere
(Stand on the spot, work out where you are and take it all from there)
This joy is lost to me now
I cannot take it, I'm out
I'm stuck here kidding myself
And you're out there drinking somewhere

[Outro]
Running away won't change anything, it only puts it off
I'm stuck here kidding myself
Stand on the spot, work out where you are and take it all from there
Running away won't change anything, it only puts it off
