In a Week
[Verse 1: Hozier]I have never known peace like the damp grass that yields to meI have never known hunger like these insects that feast on meA thousand teeth and yours among them, I knowOur hungers appeased, our heart beats becoming slow
[Pre-Chorus 1]We'll lay here for years or for hoursThrown here or found, to freeze or to thawSo long, we'd become the flowersTwo corpses we were, two corpses I saw
[Chorus]And they'd find us in a weekWhen the weather gets hotAfter the insects have made their claimI'll be home with you, I'll be home with you
[Verse 2: Karen Cowley]I have never known sleep like this slumber that creeps to meI have never known colors like this morning reveals to meAnd you haven't moved an inch such that I would not knowIf you sleep always like this, flesh calmly going cold
[Pre-Chorus 2]We'll lay here for years or for hoursYour hand in my hand, so still and discreetSo long, we'd become the flowersWe'd feed well the land and worry the sheep
[Chorus: Both]
[Outro]I'll be home with you, I'll be home with youI'll be home with you, I'll be home with you
