OCTOPUS

you launch yourself across your tank
so regal in your water realm
your tentacles like magic arms
reach out to me
reach out to me
your liberty was stolen
as you struggled in a tangled net
now your grisly end awaits
too much for me
too much for me to take
octopus
i'll set you free
deliver you back to the sea
octopus
trust in me
one day you will be free
squeeze your body through a crack
blind your enemy
but there are places you were never meant to go
octopus
you launch yourself across the reef
so regal in your water realm
free to tend your garden home
free to shelter in your briny cave
octopus
swimming free
delivered back into the sea
octopus
trust in me
one day you will be free from it all
free from it all
octopus
you will be free
