La pieuvre

I wouldn't care if you'd go now

But I wouldn't dare to say it out loud

Your eyes are mean, they're scaring me

And I can't keep it calm

From a thousand feet under the sea

You call

You spoke in tones I never heard before

Your words were songs that shook me to the core

I wish I'd known they'd bring me far from home

I swam 'til my feet could touch the seabed

I moved 'til my dreams weren't better than dead

I came too close

I burnt my nose and moaned

But once I chose it I could never go back home

I lost my heart to a giant, purple octopus

And I sacrificed my life for a greater purpose

I felt your body and it gave me chills

I watched so closely it became surreal

My time is gone

I feel my lungs go numb

And now I know I can never go back home

I lost my heart to a giant, purple octopus

And I sacrificed my life for a greater purpose
