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