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