Cephalopod -

Was it a crime?

I’ve done my time

Never applied for a license

Who did I serve?

I had some nerve

I must deserve the violent silence

Cephalopod

What a giant head you’ve got

Remarkable in size

All the suckers stream behind

And don’t they have to

For you to be satisfied?

And in your grasp you

Drag us far beneath the tide

What does it gain you?

What does it gain you?

Who can contain you when you rise?

Cephalopod

Empirically you may be flawed

But here you make the laws

The darkness babbles its applause

Did I offend you

With my marvel and my awe?

I tried to lend you

A mounting plate upon my wall

What did it gain me?

What did it gain me?

It always pained me to hear your call

My bones lie at the bottom of the sea

My bones lie at the bottom of the sea

Now that you’ve no further use for me

You only think about your cephalopod

You only think about your cephalopod

Watching from the bottom’s where I’ll be
