Sorry Laid The Hearth Lyrics – Deafheaven

In the middle of the night I returned to the orchards of Heaven
To greet what’s ours with splendor and remember each season with spiritual Grace reached through the chasm

Dog-eared time brings us together
An acuteness of feeling through decades
Sublime! Ah, picture me: I see you crying by fir
utted machines, the criss-crossed thistle spines thatch across the char

Taut, desire snuffed stress be damned, I’ll follow you like a dog to rain-covered ruins

Beautiful scion, the young heathens, we envy become ghouls at the feet of dark marble columns
Burning down for the sole arena of statues, suffering

With my head on yours, we are made sick from them
What appears as sanctity, we see sneers unseen agony a tragedy born to be rupturing endlessly
Prima donna, liquor store sage wears off in vain
Our mornings still begin blistering with sedentary misery

Shadow, be my lover now
Soft green eyes, I’m sleepless and I’m losing sleep by the dozen

I dissolve in thoughts of you
An olive tree is what I seek, the bird with only a branch cut from the almond grove
Hypnotic foxglove, it’s you that I owe
After glassy-eyed drinks in Italian winter, wondering how did I bring the blood to my reason for being, light of my life?

Home again and a dive into traffic
Men wipe ash from their faces, mothers bury their children, plastics waft in the wind
I cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
Please release me
