Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down

Oh well, it's hard to look deep into your soul

Not everything you find will be perfect gold

There are ghosts and demons that hide in the dark

Oh, they wait till I find love and then they laugh

Oh, they know that my body is no way good enough

Know that my heart is no way strong enough

To bare the sorrow that love brings

Oh, when I coil in fear, oh, the demons sing

But it's a hollow love for a heart with no blood in its veins

Oh, it's a hollow love for a heart with no blood in its veins

Oh, there is no endless devotion

That is free from the force of erosion

Oh, and if you don't believe in God how can you believe in love?

When we're all just matter that will one day scatter

When peaceful the world lays us down

Oh, and finding love is a matter of luck

Oh, and unsettled lovers move from fuck to fuck

Oh, and compare their achievements like discussing bereavements

And compare their abrasions with romantic quotations

Oh, as peaceful the world watches down

But oh, we were blown out of the water

Oh, and we walk on the feet we have grown

Oh, we were given a heart of which love is a part

And we cornered the thing from which all life will spring

And it gave value to the world that surrounds us

But we consider the world just for a moment

Oh, and it's gone before we even know

Oh, but I'll follow it 'round, yeah, I'll follow it 'round

Oh, I'll follow it 'round, yeah, I'll follow it 'round

Till peaceful, the world lays me down
