Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down Lyrics - Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down - Noah & The Whale

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
