hozier lyrics, unreal unearth edition
❛ your reflection can't offer a word to the bliss of not knowing yourself. ❜
❛ no closer could i be to god or why he would do what he's done. ❜
❛ what you live in, it finds a way to live in you. ❜
❛ your heart has such darkness. ❜
❛ i wanna be gone. i wanna run so far, i'd beat the morning. ❜
❛ before the dawn has come, i'd block the sun if you want it done. ❜
❛ let all time slow. let all light go. ❜
❛ i don't need to know where we begin and end. ❜
❛ i'd still know you, not being shown you. ❜
❛ the first time that you kissed me, i drank dry the river lethe. the liffey would have been softer on my stomach all the same. ❜
❛ some part of me must have died the first time that you called me baby. ❜
❛ some part of me came alive the first time that you called me baby. ❜
❛ these days, i think, i owe my life to flowers that were left here by my mother. ain't that like them? gifting life to you again. ❜
❛ oh, to share the space with simple living things infinitely suffering but fighting off, like all creation, the absence of itself ... but anyway. ❜
❛ some part of me stayed alive each time that you called. ❜
❛ whatever keeps you around, it keeps you around. ❜
❛ when i was young i used to guess, are there limits to any emptiness? ❜
❛ how could you think i'd scare so easily? ❜
❛ my life was a storm since i was born. how could i fear any hurricane? ❜
❛ i would do it again if i could hold you for a minute. ❜
❛ what good would it be on the far side of things? ❜
❛ i would not change it each time. ❜
❛ heaven is not fit to house a love like you and i. ❜
❛ i feel lighter than i have in so much time. ❜
❛ how could i fall when i am lifted by every word you say to me? ❜
❛ if anything could fall at all, it's the world that falls away from me. ❜
❛ if you need to, lean your weight to me. ❜
❛ if we fall, i only pray, don't fall away from me. ❜
❛ i'm starving, darling. let me put my lips to something. ❜
❛ you can't buy this fineness. ❜
❛ we can celebrate the good that we've done. ❜
❛ we had nowhere to go and every desire for going there. ❜
❛ i heard once, it's the comforts that make us feel numb. ❜
❛ it was just our turn being blamed for a world we had no power in. ❜
❛ i haven't felt it since then. i don't know how the feeling ended. ❜
❛ i know being reckless and young is not how the damage gets done. ❜
❛ we knew what our love was worth when we had nothing. ❜
❛ i miss when we did not need much. ❜
❛ you were steering my heart like a wheel in your hands. ❜
❛ all i needed was someone when the whole wide world felt young. ❜
❛ hold me like water or hold me like a knife. ❜
❛ you and i burned out our steam chasing someone else's dream. ❜
❛ how can something be so much heavier but so much less than what it seems? ❜
❛ you only feel it when it's lost. getting through still has its cost. ❜
❛ if there was anyone to ever get through this life with their heart still intact, they didn't do it right. ❜
❛ we didn't get it right but we did our best. ❜
❛ knowing that everything will end should not change our plans. ❜
❛ all things end. ❜
❛ there are some things that no one teaches you that come natural as a dream you didn't know that you were in. ❜
❛ the awful things we do to make the head go quiet. ❜
❛ you may never know your fortune until the distance has been shown between what is lost forever and what can still be known. ❜
❛ i don't wanna be anything but i would do anything just to run away. ❜
❛ go look another way. ❜
❛ look, i wanna be loud. so loud, i'm talking seismic. ❜
❛ i will not be great but i'm grateful to get through. ❜
❛ the memory hurts but does me no harm. ❜
❛ the moment i knew i'd no choice but to love you. ❜
❛ there's a part of me, i'm afraid will always be trapped within an abstract from a moment of my life. ❜
❛ you know, the distance never made a difference to me. ❜
❛ so, i thought you were like an angel to me. ❜
❛ it ain't the being alone. it ain't the empty home. you know i'm good on my own. ❜
❛ so much of the living is the being unknown. ❜
❛ do you know i could break beneath the weight of the goodness i still carry for you? ❜
❛ there are some people who are better unknown. ❜
❛ darkness always finds you either way. ❜
❛ after this, i'm never gonna be the same and i am never going back again. ❜
