Hozier - Angel of Small Death & the Codeine Scene lyrics
[Hozier - Angel of Small Death & the Codeine Scene lyrics]
I watch the work of my kin, bold and boyful
Toying somewhere between love and abuse
Calling to join them the wretched and joyful
Shaking the wings of their terrible youths
Freshly disowned in some frozen devotion
No more alone or myself could I be
Lurched like a stray to the
Arms that were open
No shortage of sordid, no protest from me
With her sweetened breath
And her tongue so mean
She's the angel of small death
And the codeine scene
With her straw-blonde hair
Her arms hard and lean
She's the angel of small death
And the codeine scene
Feeling more human and hooked on her flesh
Lay my heart down with the rest at her feet
Fresh from the fields, all fetor and fertile
It's bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet
With her sweetened breath
And her tongue so mean
She's the angel of small death
And the codeine scene
With her straw-blonde hair
Her arms hard and lean
She's the angel of small death
And the codeine scene
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh, oh
In leash less confusion
I'll wander the concrete
Wonder if better now having survived
The jarring of judgement and
Reason's defeat the sweet
Heat of her breath in my mouth I'm alive
With her sweetened breath
And her tongue so mean
She's the angel of small death
And the codeine scene
With her straw-blonde hair
Her arms hard and lean
She's the angel of small death
And the codeine scene
With her sweetened breath
And her tongue so mean
She's the angel of small death
And the codeine scene
With her straw-blonde hair
Her arms hard and lean
She's the angel of small death
And the codeine scene
Toying somewhere between love and abuse
Calling to join them the wretched and joyful
Shaking the wings of their terrible youths
Freshly disowned in some frozen devotion
No more alone or myself could I be
Lurched like a stray to the
Arms that were open
No shortage of sordid, no protest from me
With her sweetened breath
And her tongue so mean
She's the angel of small death
And the codeine scene
With her straw-blonde hair
Her arms hard and lean
She's the angel of small death
And the codeine scene
Feeling more human and hooked on her flesh
Lay my heart down with the rest at her feet
Fresh from the fields, all fetor and fertile
It's bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet
With her sweetened breath
And her tongue so mean
She's the angel of small death
And the codeine scene
With her straw-blonde hair
Her arms hard and lean
She's the angel of small death
And the codeine scene
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh, oh
In leash less confusion
I'll wander the concrete
Wonder if better now having survived
The jarring of judgement and
Reason's defeat the sweet
Heat of her breath in my mouth I'm alive
With her sweetened breath
And her tongue so mean
She's the angel of small death
And the codeine scene
With her straw-blonde hair
Her arms hard and lean
She's the angel of small death
And the codeine scene
With her sweetened breath
And her tongue so mean
She's the angel of small death
And the codeine scene
With her straw-blonde hair
Her arms hard and lean
She's the angel of small death
And the codeine scene
