Blood-letting Lyrics by Mothers

When You Walk a Long Distance You Are Tired

2016

[Verse 1]
I think it's about time I was leaving
You're stumbling over words
I don't believe in
But I'm finding
New legs to walk with
I've been finding
New knives to kiss with
[Verse 2]
When you sleep
Your body turns a ghost white
And I can't help but feeling
Like a fly on milk
I crawled back into myself alone
I crawled back into myself alone
[Bridge]
I am writhing with certainty
I am dancing with the slow death
Trembling like a drop of mercury
I touched your wrist beneath the blanket
I touched your wrist beneath the blanket
[Verse 3]
No use now
In trying to change our old ways
When someone else's name is stuck
Between your shoulder blades
Here are my hands
Reminding you of someone else's hands
[Outro]
God is stuck
Singing himself to sleep
I am not the only one
God is stuck
Singing himself to sleep
I am not the only one
God is stuck
Singing himself to sleep
I am not the only one
