Song lyrics

[Verse 1: Hozier]
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.
A thousand teeth and yours among them, I know,
Our hungers appeased, our heart beats becoming slow.
We'll lay here for years or for hours,
Thrown here or found, to freeze or to thaw.
So long, we'd become the flowers,
Two corpses we were, two corpses I saw.

[Chorus:]
And they'd find us in a week
When the weather gets hot,
After the insects have made their claim.
I'll be home with you, I'll be home with you.

[Verse 2: Karen Cowley]
I have never known sleep like this slumber that creeps to me,
I have never known colors like this morning reveals to me.
And you haven't moved an inch such that I would not know,
If you sleep always like this, flesh calmly going cold.
We'll lay here for years or for hours,
Your hand in my hand, so still and discreet.
So long, we'd become the flowers,
We'd feed well the land and worry the sheep.

[Chorus:]
And they'd find us in a week
When the weather gets hot,
After the insects have made their claim.
I'll be home with you, I'll be home with you.

I'll be home with you, I'll be home with you,
I'll be home with you, I'll be home with you.
