Nothing Without You

by Sufjan stevens

I'm weak and I'm slow, when you're near.
Defeated, I'll disappear.
In the blood in your mouth, I'll disappear.
Defeated, I'll stand behind you.
We'll be here forever.
We won't move again.
Your body's open.
We're slipping down through an open floor
We'll fall forever.
I'm weak and I'm slow when
your eyes are on me
Defeated, I'll disappear.
I left myself, beneath your skin.
What were you?
Who was I then?
Look over there, against the wall.
There's a memory there: red
hands, blood and hair.
I don't know where you are.
I don't know where I end.
I'm nothing without you.
