rawest fucking hozier lyrics in no particular order:

  • i’d suffer hell if you’d tell me what you’d do to me tonight
  • heat of her breath in my mouth; im alive
  • i’d be the choiceless hope in grief that drove him underground
  • idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on his sword
  • and when the earth is trembling on some new beginning with the same sweet shock of when adam first came
  • every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside
  • the stench of the sea and the absence of green are the death of all things that are seen and unseen
  • if I was born as a blackthorn tree i’d wanna be felled by you, held by you, fuel the pyre of your enemies
  • some like to imagine the dark caress of someone else, I guess any thrill will do
  • before the wave hits, marveling at god; before he feels alone one final time and marries the sea
  • betray the moon as acolyte on first and fierce affirming sight
  • i have never known peace like the damp grass that yields to me, I have never known hunger like these insects that feast on me
  • screaming the name of a foreigner’s god; the purest expression of grief
  • sweet and right and merciful, i’m all but washed in the tide of her breathing
  • but you don’t know the hell you put me through; to have someone kiss the skin that crawls from you
  • so i try to talk refined for fear that you find out how i’m imagining you
  • my head was war, my skin was soaked, I called your name ‘til the fever broke
  • be still, my indelible friend, you are unbreaking
  • remember me, love, when i’m reborn as a shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn

true but how could you forget:

  • my peace has always been dependent, on all the ashes in my wake
  • I’m somewhere outside my life, babe, I keep scratching but somehow I can’t get in
  • And the nights were as dark as my baby, And half as beautiful too
