Blood Songtext

von Hozier

Tryin' hard to recognise
Some clear motive inside of me
A creature that would horrify
Any child that I used to be
Oh, give no faith to show
Started to smile so I showed my teeth
No more than flesh and bone
Doin' so much just to watch someone bleed

But I love the very blood of you
It keeps its heat in spite of you
Oh, the heart that beats
To keep you here with me always

Tryin' hard, I nearly find
Innocence in spite of me
Whoa, creature that would terrify
Any child left inside of me
Oh, that's a cold insight
Nothin' above us and nothin' below
Ahh, but you might be right
If there is no heaven and there is no soul

But I love the very blood of you
It keeps its heat in spite of you
Oh, the heart that beats
To keep you here with me always

Oh, I love the very blood of you
It keeps its heat in spite of you
Oh, the heart that beats
To keep you here with me always

Oh, I love the very blood of you
Leaks and squeeks you black and blue
Oh, the heart that beats
To keep you here with me always
