Angel Of Small Death & The Codeine Scene Lyrics - Take Me To Church - Hozier

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Feeling more human and hooked on her flesh 

I 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 

In leash-less confusion, I 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
