turns out what i thought was
lucifer plummeting from above
smoldering away

was just an ashtray

these nights stretch so long
nothing seems to move without you

i recognize these scars
from bedsores, not from whips,
from lying
not suffering at all

these nights stretch so long
nothing seems to move without you

the wind blows and it uproots the trees
bodies blow like glitter in a breeze
you can dance or you can try to hide
but i know which way i'd rather die from this

it gets into your eyes
like the holes in my arms define
how i care for you
i prepare for you

these nights stretch so long
nothing seems to move without you

motionless (4x)
