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
