CRYSTALS Lyrics - OF MONSTERS AND MEN

CRYSTALS Lyrics - OF MONSTERS AND MEN

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

Because 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

Cover your crystal eyes

And feel the tones that tremble down your spine

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

Because 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

Cover your crystal eyes

And feel the tones that tremble down your spine

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

Because I'm in this house

I'm in this home

All my time

Cover your crystal eyes

And feel the tones that tremble down your spine

Cover your crystal eyes

And let your colours bleed and blend with mine

HUNGER Lyrics - OF MONSTERS AND MEN

HUNGER Lyrics - OF MONSTERS AND MEN

You are right, I'll move on

But my lungs feel so small

I couldn't breathe if I tried

I lay my head on the floor

My beating heart wanted more

But I'll keep it in and keep you out

I'm drowning, I'm drowning

I'm drowning, I'm drowning

But for the longest time I knew

There was nothing left for us to do

But I tried, oh, I try

And in this quiet company

There is nothing staring back at me

I'm in need of the sound

Hungry for the kill, but this hunger, it isn't you

Voices disappear when you are speaking, in somber tunes

I will be the wolf and when you're starving, you'll need it too

Hungry for the kill, but this hunger, it isn't you

It isn't you, it isn't

Let me go cause you are just a shade

Of what I am, not what I'll be

But in this quiet company

I forget sometimes just how to breathe

Fill my lungs with the sound

Hungry for the kill, but this hunger, it isn't you

Voices disappear when you are speaking, in somber tunes

I will be the wolf and when you're starving, you'll need it too

Hungry for the kill, but this hunger, it isn't you

It isn't you, it isn't

I'm drowning, I'm drowning

I'm drowning, I'm drowning

I'm drowning, I'm drowning

I'm drowning, I'm drowning

EMPIRE Lyrics - OF MONSTERS AND MEN

EMPIRE Lyrics - OF MONSTERS AND MEN

Feel the ocean as it breathes

Shivering teeth

See the mountains where they meet

Smothering me

As the wind fends off the waves

I count down the days

Heavy stones

Fear no weather

I find comfort in the sound

And the shape of the heart

How it echoes through the chest

From under the ground

As the hills turn into holes

I fill them with gold

Heavy stones

Fear no weather

And from the rain

Comes a river running wild that will create

And empire for you

Illuminate

There's a river running wild that will create

An empire for you

An empire for two

An empire for you

An empire for two

And I paint your body black

I hide in your hair

And you're staring back at me

Like I wasn't there

As our bodies become stills

We welcome the fear

Heavy stones

Fear no weather

And from the rain

Comes a river running wild that will create

And empire for you

Illuminate

There's a river running wild that will create

An empire for you

An empire for two

An empire for you

An empire for two

And from the rain

Comes a river running wild that will create

And empire for you

Illuminate

There's a river running wild that will create

An empire for you

An empire for two

An empire for you

An empire for two

I OF THE STORM Lyrics - OF MONSTERS AND MEN

I OF THE STORM Lyrics - OF MONSTERS AND MEN

If I could face them

If I could make amends

With all my shadows

I'd bow my head

And welcome them

But I feel it burning

Like when the winter wind

Stops my breathing

Are you really going to love me

When I'm gone

I fear you won't

I fear you don't

And it echoes when I breathe

Until all you'll see

Is my ghost

Empty vessel, crooked teeth

Wish you could see

And they call me under

And I'm shaking like a leaf

And they call me under

And I wither underneath

In this storm

I am a stranger

I am an alien

Inside a structure

Are you really going to love me

When I'm gone

With all my thoughts

And all my faults

I feel it biting

I feel it break my skin

So uninviting

Are you really going to need me

When I'm gone

I fear you won't

I fear you don't

And it echoes when I breathe

Until all you see is my ghost

Empty vessel, crooked teeth

Wish you could see

And they call me under

And I'm shaking like a leaf

And they call me under

And I wither underneath

In this storm

I feel it

And they call me under

And I'm shaking like a leaf

And they call me underneath

To this storm
