Weakerthan what?

Held like water in you shaking hands are all the small defeats a day demands.
Let's lay our bad day down here, dear and make-believe we're strong...

We'll talk the night away. You call in sick, I'll quit the word-games that I play.

I swear I way more than half believe it when I say that somewhere love and justice shine. Cynicism falls asleep. Tyranny talks to itself. Sappy slogans all come true.

We forget to feed our fear.
- The Weakerthans

That last line of this song is the one thing to focus on.. to forget to feed the fear that can creep in even when we feel safe. Change is always needed to grow.. so we don't die.
