❛ two years of nights have turned me into a nocturnal animal. ❜
❛ it’s a big city. i can’t be everywhere. ❜
❛ fear is a tool. ❜
❛ the hell are you supposed to be? ❜
❛ i’m vengeance. ❜
❛ what does a liar do when he’s dead? he lies still. ❜
❛ happy fuckin’ halloween. ❜
❛ i wish i could say i’m making a difference, but i don’t know. ❜
❛ the city’s eating itself. maybe it’s beyond saving. but i have to try. ❜
❛ you’re becoming quite a celebrity. ❜
❛ have a shower. ❜
❛ if this continues, it won’t be long before you’ve nothing left. ❜
❛ if i can’t change things here, if i can’t have an effect, then i don’t care what happens to me. ❜
❛ you’re not my father. ❜
❛ some fresh berries there. ❜
❛ oh, this guy’s hilarious. ❜
❛ get out of here. you hear me? or that little suit’s gonna get all full of blood. ❜
❛ take it easy, sweetheart. ❜
❛ boy, you’re everything they say, ain’t ya? ❜
❛ you got a lot of cats. ❜
❛ i have a thing about strays. ❜
❛ you’re not safe here. ❜
❛ i can take care of myself. ❜
❛ hey, why am i starting to feel like a fish on a hook? ❜
❛ boy, you’re a real sweetheart. ❜
❛ look at me. ❜
❛ that’s one of the guys i got into it with the other night. looks like i broke his nose. ❜
❛ is bruce wayne making an actual appearance? ❜
❛ serial killers like to follow reactions to their crimes. ❜
❛ you have to keep up appearances. you’re still a wayne. ❜
❛ i’ve been trying to reach you. ❜
❛ i’m giving you a chance. no one ever gave me a chance. ❜
❛ it can be cruel poetic or blind. but when it’s denied, it’s violence you may find. ❜
❛ if you are justice, please do not lie. what is the price for your blind eye? ❜
❛ since your justice is so select, tell us which vermin you’re paid to protect. ❜
❛ is this how you get your kicks, hon? sneaking up on girls in the dark? ❜
❛ what the hell is this? good cop, batshit cop? ❜
❛ no habla español, fellas? ❜
❛ jesus. his next victim is bruce wayne. ❜
❛ wasn’t sure i’d see you again. ❜
❛ was it worth it? compromising yourself for money? ❜
❛ who are you under there? what are you hiding? are you just hideously scarred? ❜
❛ i told you, baby. i can take care of myself. ❜
❛ do you know who i am? ❜
❛ i could see the fear in your eyes, but i didn’t know how to help. ❜
❛ i could teach you how to fight, but i wasn’t equipped to take care of you. ❜
❛ you needed a father. and all you had was me. ❜
❛ i never thought i’d feel fear like that again. ❜
❛ come on, vengeance. let’s go kill that son of a bitch. ❜
❛ listen to me. don’t throw your life away. ❜
❛ don’t worry, honey. i got nine of ’em. ❜
❛ whatever i know, whatever i’ve done, it’s all going with me to my grave. ❜
❛ i just ordered a slice of pumpkin pie. ❜
❛ my life has been a cruel riddle i could not solve. ❜
❛ i know now what i must become. ❜
❛ if only you knew how long i’ve been waiting for this day. for this moment. ❜
❛ god. look at you. your mask is amazing. i wish you could’ve seen me in mine. ❜
❛ you and i both know i’m looking at the real you right now. ❜
❛ i told you, we’ve been doing this together. you’re a part of this. ❜
❛ we didn’t do anything together. ❜
❛ this is not how this was supposed to go! ❜
❛ oh, you’re really not as smart as i thought you were. ❜
❛ what’s black and blue and dead all over? you. ❜
❛ i can already see things will get worse before they get better. ❜
❛ people need hope. to know someone’s out there for them. ❜
❛ one day you’re on top, the next… you’re a clown. ❜
❛ gotham loves a comeback story. ❜
❛ riddle me this… the less of them you have, the more one is worth. ❜
❛ don’t you ever just say hello? ❜
❛ you know this place is never gonna change. ❜
❛ the bat and the cat. it’s got a nice ring. ❜
❛ take care of yourself. ❜
hozier lyrics, hozier (expanded edition)
❛ i should've worshipped them sooner. ❜
❛ we were born sick. ❜
❛ the only heaven i'll be sent to is when i'm alone with you. ❜
❛ i'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies. ❜
❛ good god, let me give you my life. ❜
❛ there is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin. ❜
❛ it's toying somewhere between love and abuse. ❜
❛ no more alone or myself i could be. ❜
❛ [i/you] lurched like a stray to the arms that were open. ❜
❛ i lay my heart down with the rest at [your/their] feet. ❜
❛ i wonder if it's better now having survived. ❜
❛ i'm so tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes. ❜
❛ no better version of me i could pretend to be tonight. ❜
❛ [they/you] found me just in time. ❜
❛ cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done, i need to be youthfully felt cause i never felt young. ❜
❛ it'd be great to find a place we could escape sometimes. ❜
❛ we tried the world and it wasn't for us. ❜
❛ you knew who i was with every step that i ran to you. ❜
❛ would things be easier if there was a right way? ❜
❛ honey, there is no right way. ❜
❛ i fall in love just a little bit every day with someone new. ❜
❛ there's an art to life's distractions. ❜
❛ love with every stranger, the stranger the better. ❜
❛ all i've ever done is hide. ❜
❛ when you kill the lights and kiss my eyes, i feel ike a person for a moment of my life. ❜
❛ but you don't know what the hell you put me through. ❜
❛ it feels good to be alone with you. ❜
❛ there are questions i can't ask. ❜
❛ now, at last, the worst is over. ❜
❛ i know that you hate this place. ❜
❛ there's something tragic about you, something so magic about you, don't you agree? ❜
❛ there's something lonesome about you, something so wholesome about you. ❜
❛ innocence died screaming. ask me, i should know. ❜
❛ there's something broken about this but i might be hoping about this. ❜
❛ we'll lay here for years or for hours, your hand in my hand. so still and discreet. ❜
❛ i'd be home with you. ❜
❛ any way to distract and sedate. ❜
❛ i'm somewhere outside my life. i keep scratching but somehow i can't get in. ❜
❛ don't you stand there watching me, won't you? ❜
❛ don't you join in, you're supposed to drag me away from it. ❜
❛ i'm so full of love, i could barely eat. ❜
❛ [they/you] are sweet as can be. [they/you] give me toothaches just from kissing me. ❜
❛ no grave can hold my body down, i'll crawl home to [them/you]. ❜
❛ you never asked me once about the wrong i did. ❜
❛ [you/they] would never fret none about what my hands and my body done. ❜
❛ if the lord don't forgive me, i'd still have you and you would have me. ❜
❛ why were you digging? what did you bury? ❜
❛ i will not ask you where you came from. i will not ask and neither should you. ❜
❛ just put your sweet lips on my lips. we should just kiss like real people do. ❜
❛ i know that look, eyes always seeking. ❜
❛ i will not ask you why you were creeping. in some sad way, i already know. ❜
❛ you know better than to smile at me like that. ❜
❛ i know who i am when i'm alone. ❜
❛ you don't understand. you should never know how easy you are to need. ❜
❛ don't let me in with no intention to keep me. ❜
❛ it can't be unlearned. i've known the warmth of your doorways. ❜
❛ i'll find my way back to you. ❜
❛ my heart is heavy with the hate of some other man's beliefs. ❜
❛ screaming the name of a foreigner's good is the purest expression of grief. ❜
❛ i feel no control of my body. i feel no safety in [your/their] arms. ❜
❛ all that i've been taught and every word i've got is foreign to me. ❜
❛ it looks ugly but it's clean. ❜
❛ your fight and fury is fiery. ❜
❛ it's worth it, it's divine. i have this some of the time. ❜
❛ you called my name til the fever broke. ❜
❛ i heard a scream in the woods somewhere. ❜
❛ i turned and ran to save a life i didn't have. ❜
❛ i need you to run to me. run to me! ❜
❛ when i was a child, i heard voices. some would sing and some would scream. ❜
❛ don't you ever tame your demons but always keep them on a leash. ❜
❛ you've done me wrong for a long, long time. ❜
❛ after all you've done, i never changed my mind. ❜
❛ please, try to love me. ❜
❛ my love will never die. ❜
