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 forest

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 streetlights 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
