Of Monsters and Men
Sloom
[Verse 1: Ragnar Þórhallsson]
The sea said goodbye to the shore
So the sun wouldn't notice
The seaweed that wrapped its
Arms around you

[Verse 2: Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir]
The carpet on my cheek
Feels like a forest
And I run through the tall trees
With your hand chasing me

[Verse 3: Ragnar]
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

[Verse 4: Nanna & Nanna & Ragnar]
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: Nanna & Ragnar]
So love me, mother
And love me, father
And love my sister
As well
[Verse 5: Nanna]
The cat's silhouette
As big as a monster
In this concrete jungle
With street lights hanging their heads

[Verse 6: Ragnar & Nanna & Ragnar]
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: Nanna & Ragnar]
So love me, mother
And love me, father
And love my sister
As well

[Chorus: Nanna & Ragnar]
So love me, mother
And love me, father
And love my brother
As well

[Chorus: Nanna & Ragnar]
So love me, mother
And love me, father
And love my sister
As well
[Chorus: Nanna & Ragnar]
So love me, mother
And love me, father
And love my brother
As well

[Outro: Nanna & Nanna & Ragnar]
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
