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