Arsonist's Lullabye

LYRICS
When I was a child I heard voices,
Some would sing and some would scream,
You soon find you have few choices,
I learned the voices died with me

When I was a child I'd sit for hours,
Staring into open flame
Something in it had a power,
Could barely tear my eyes away.

Chorus:
All you have is your fire,
And the place you need to reach,
Don't you ever tame your demons,
But always keep them on a leash.

When I was sixteen my senses fooled me
I thought gasoline was on my clothes
I knew that something would always rule me
I knew the scent was mine alone

All you have is your fire,
And the place you need to reach,
Don't you ever tame your demons,
But always keep them on a leash.

When I was a man I thoguht it ended
When I knew love's perfect ache,
But my peace has always depended,
On all the ashes in my wake.

This songs brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it. I have lost my voice and vision, and feel I cant even tell what my dreams or drive are anymore. In case you go on youtube to read comments: Thanks Hozier for reminding me of something very important, I may not remember now but I wont rest until I do. 

[phoenixheart]

His voice makes me feel like I'm being pulled under water and I don't even care that I'm drowning. 

[paxtona]

TWD once again has taken me on an unexpected musical trip. Such a dark, dirty and soulful track with killer vocals. Unequivocally awesome.

[cait]

HOZIER is seriously one of the best artists out there . His voice is so hypnotizing

[PalmurcioWorld]

His voice is unreal. So unique, I'm in love with it.

[naomirabb]

"Don't you ever tame your demons, but always keep them on a leash"

[SarahM-lvuw]

I can listen to him humming all day. That alone is a lullaby.

[reaperym]

Hozier is fuckin awesome, love his lyrics and the darkness in his voice. 

[drupattiewinter]

YOUR AESTHETIC CONTRIBUTION TO THE HUMAN RACE IS IMMESURABLE. YOUR VOICE, ITS BREATH AND DEPTH IS CONSTANT...CONSTANTLY FASCINATING

[ryanmcdonald]

the way this was used in episode 12 of season 6 for the walking dead. Absolutely amazing, Fits the show perfectly.

[rebeccawilson-shore]

He is just amazing. That voice?  Ahhh!  And from a writing perspective, his lyricism is like reading poetry in an old dusty book. I have my Hozier playlist just on a constant loop. OK, must back away from my computer. I could lose an entire day watching Hozier Youtube.

[RED-bbwu]

Mom: "You sleepwalked at 3am"
Me: "Nah, I was just taking my demons for a walk"

This is a masterpiece. Down to the title. Lullaby because this song doesn’t demonise sociopathy, and grants some level of peace to a soul that’s experienced this. Omg. I’m just in love.

[mars-aria]

Just heard this song on the Originals. So HAUNTING. I love it!
