Mother Octopus by Lilacseason

Lyrics:
verse 1

Mother Octopus stayed behind her
curtain of tears
when she
set me free
in the dark blue sea

did she know that I would only
be happy
drifting endlessly
or were we both lucky?

chorus
when I see her will we pretend
nothing has changed?
or will we admit that things have
been so strange
I don’t know what I’ll do

verse 2

Four years living
under the dock
was she stuck
or was she
just afraid?

did she know that I would only
be happy
drifting endlessly
or were we both lucky?

chorus
when I see her will we pretend
nothing has changed?
or will we admit that things have
been so strange
I don’t know what I’ll do

bridge

will we pretend nothing’s changed
or will we admit it’s been strange
I don’t know what I will do
don’t know wa-doo
don’t know wa-doo

(Instrumental verse)

chorus
when I see her will we pretend
nothing has changed?
or will we admit that things have
been so strange
I don’t know what I’ll do

verse 3*

Four years and now
liberation!
congratulations
you’ve defied
the odds
