Sloom

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 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 And be the better man, to be a better man, to be a better man 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 --- Sloom - Of Monsters and Men
