Sloom
Of Monsters and Men Lyrics
The sea said goodbye to the shore so the sun wouldn't notice
The seaweed that wrapped its arms around you
The carpet on my cheek feels like the fall grass
And I run through the tall trees with your hands chasing me
The books that I keep by my bags are full of your stories
That I drew up from a little dream of mine, a little nightmare of yours
To be asked to take this plunge, to forgive and forget
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
The cat's silhouette, as big as a monster,
In this concrete jungle, with street lights hanging their heads
So make all your last demands for I will forsake you
And I'll meet your eyes for the very first time, for the very last
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well
I met a man today and he smiled back at me
Now there are thoughts like these that keep me on my feet,
That keep me on my feet.

See the stars, see the moon,
Penned around by blackest night.
See the diamonds red and purple,
Silk and fire and blood and light.
See them turning, ever turning,
Like a great mandala wheel,
Spinning as the fire is burning.
What is false and what is real...?
-Slagar.

[Verse 1]
The sea said goodbye to the shore so the sun wouldn't notice
The seaweed that wrapped its arms around you
The carpet on my cheek feels like a forest
And I run through the tall trees with your hand chasing me
[Verse 2]
The books that I keep by my bed are full of your stories
That I drew up from a little dream of mine, a little nightmare of yours
To be us to take this plunge, to forgive and forget
And be the better man, to be a better man, to be a better man
[Chorus]
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
[Verse 3]
The cat's silhouette as big as a monster in this concrete jungle
With street lights hanging their hats
So make all your last demands for I will forsake you
And I'll meet your eyes for the very first time, for the very last
[Chorus]
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well
[Outro]
I met a man today and he smiled back at me
Now there are thoughts like these that keep me on my feet, that keep me on my feet

For all you wondering, a "Sloom" is a light sleep, much like a nap, that comes from British dialect
