This is just a quick response to a post I saw that basically shamed other people for how they choose to deal with their mental health.

Hozier is not just an amazing singer, but also an incredible songwriter.

1. "The only heaven I'll be sent to is when I'm alone with you."

2. "Would things be easier if there was a right way? Honey, there is no right way."

3. "No better version I could pretend to be tonight."

4. Babe, there's something so lonesome about you, something so wholesome about you."

5. "And I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted."

6. "All you have is your fire and the place you need to reach. Don't ever tame your demons, but always keep 'em on a leash."

7. "It's not the waking, it's the rising."

8. "I will not as you where you came from, I will not ask you, neither should you."

9. "Babe, there's something so tragic about you, something so magic about you; don't you agree?"

10. "We'll lay here for years or for hours, your hand in my hand, so still and discreet."

11. "Her eyes and words are so icy, oh, but she burns like rum on fire."

12. "I've no language left to say it, all I do is crave to her."

13. "Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago."

14. "'Cause there's no better love that's laid beside me. There's no better love that justifies me, there's no better."

15. Give your heart and soul to charity 'cause the rest of you, the best of you, honey, belongs to me."

16. "'Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done, I need to be youthfully felt, 'cause God I never felt young."

17. "You and I nursing on a poison that never stung, our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it."

18. "There's an art to life's distractions; to somehow escape the burn weight. The art of scraping through."

19. "I turned and ran to save a life I didn't have."

20. "My lover's got humor, she's the giggle at a funeral. Knows everybody's disapproval, I should've worshipped her sooner."

21. "We tried the world, good God, it wasn't for us."

What came first: The chicken or the egg?

1. Is water wet?

2. Is a hot dog a sandwich?

3. Does a straw have two holes or one?

4. Is cereal considered soup?

5. Is a thumb a finger?

6. If you are at a restaurant and your waiter doesn't come back, are you the waiter?

7. Last but not least, which came first — the chicken or the egg?
