Of Monsters and Men Lyrics
Lost in skies of powdered gold
Caught in clouds of silver ropes
Showered by the empty hopes
As I tumble down, falling fast to the ground
I know I'll wither so peel away the bark
'Cause nothing grows when it is dark
In spite of all my fears, I can see it all so clear
I see it all so clear
Woah
Cover your crystal eyes
And feel the tones that tremble down your spine
Woah
Cover your crystal eyes
And let your colours bleed and blend with mine
Making waves in pitch black sand
Feel the salt dance on my hands
Raw and charcoal coloured thighs
Feel so cold and my skin feels so paper-thin
I know I'll wither so peel away the bark
'Cause nothing grows when it is dark
In spite of all my fears, I can see it all so clear
I see it all so clear
Woah
Cover your crystal eyes
And feel the tones that tremble down your spine
Woah
Cover your crystal eyes
And let your colours bleed and blend with mine
But I'm okay in see-through skin
I forgive what is within
'Cause I'm in this house
I'm in this home
All my time
Woah
Cover your crystal eyes
And feel the tones that tremble down your spine
Woah
Cover your crystal eyes
And let your colours bleed and blend with mine

I cry every time I hear this. This song means so much to me, no matter what anybody says or thinks. This will forever hold a place in my heart. 16/07/16

I just found this song 2 days ago. I've probably listened to it 50 times. Ever single time the first chorus hits I choke up and by the time she sings "I'm in this house, I'm in this home" the tears begin. This song is everything. Love, Terror, Growing cold, and learning to love again. Be well traveler. Best in 2021
