“Holy water cannot help you now
A thousand armies couldn’t keep me out
See, I’ve come to burn your kingdom down
I’ve come to smoke you out

Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in my house
See, I was dead when I woke up this morning,
And I’ll be dead before the day is done

And now all your love will be exorcised
And we will find your sayings to be paradox
And it’s an even sum
It’s a symphony
It’s a battle cry

They can keep me alive
‘Til I tear the walls
‘Til I slave you heart
And they take your soul
And what have we done?”
― Florence Welch

“I wish to remain nameless

And my love keeps writing again and again
This is a song for a scribbled out name
And my love keeps writing again and again
And again and again and again and again and again and again...”
― Florence Welch

“The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart”
― Florence Welch

“A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes.
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind.

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out.
You left me in the dark.
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight.
In the shadow of your heart.

And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat.
I tried to find the sound.
But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became.


I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map.
And knew that somehow I could find my way back.
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too.
So I stayed in the darkness with you.”
― Florence Welch Isabella Summers

“Broke your jaw once before
Spilt your blood upon the floor
You broke my leg in return
So let's sit back and watch the bed burn
Well love sticks sweat drips
Break the lock if it don't fit
A kick in the teeth is good for some
A kiss with a fist is better than none”
― Florence Welch

“There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an almighty sound
There's a drumming noise inside my head
That throws me to the ground
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an almighty sound
Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell”
― Florence Welch

“I was a heavy heart to carry
My beloved was weighed down
My arms around his neck
My fingers laced to crown.
I was a heavy heart to carry
My feet dragged across ground
And he took me to the river
Where he slowly let me drown
My love has concrete feet
My love's an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles
Over the waterfall”
― Florence Welch

“Sometimes I find that music is so much more attractive than love. I don’t know… It’s like some kind of euphoria, that love can’t bring to you.”

“For someone so conflicted, who am I to give advice to anybody? It’s such a funny, grandiose idea”

“I've fallen out of favour
And I've fallen from grace
Fallen out of trees
And I've fallen on my face
Fallen out of taxis
Out of windows too
Fell in your opinion
When I fell in love with you”
― Florence Welch

“It's hard to dance with the Devil on your back, So shake him off.”
― Florence Welch

“Sometimes I wish for falling
Wish for the release
Wish for falling through the air
To give me some relief
Because falling's not the problem
When I'm falling I'm in peace
It's only when I hit the ground
It causes all the grief”
― Florence Welch
