Verse 1:

I still remember the words you said

They were hard enough to leave a mark

And now they echo inside my head

As I spiral down into the dark

I windmill upside down

Knowing you'll come at me again

And I feel your shadow pass above me

Chorus:

Octopus

Some kind of octopus

Tearing my shell apart

Letting the sea get in

You make my insides outside

Verse 2:

I don't think I ever saw you blink

You were so controlled that no one knew

And by the time we all stopped to think

We were already too close to you

Now you keep coming by

Telling me it's not what I think

But I know a murder when I see one

Chorus:

Octopus

Some kind of octopus

Tearing my shell apart

Letting the sea get in

You make my insides outside

Bridge:

And far above me I can see the world

Receding slowly out of view

The sinking feeling that my worst mistake

Was all the time I spent with you

Verse 3:

N.C.

You said you're sorry, you said you'd try

But you never did, I guess we're done

Now bits of pieces of me float by

And I die in front of everyone

And you're already gone

Halfway to wherever you sleep

And you make me wish I never met you

Chorus:

Octopus

Some kind of octopus

Tearing my shell apart

Letting the sea get in

You make my insides outside
