THE OCTOPUS EMBRACE OF DRUGS 

Music: Martinsen/Schau

Lyrics: Schau

I’m hot-faced from staring at flames

But it’s a wonderful bitter pain

Where you’re just listening hoping I’ll amuse you

I can’t explain to someone else

Something I can’t explain myself

Don’t want you scared by all the things I am used to

Everything dies

One world at a time

And fingers crossed

Today it’s mine 

I’ve built these walls all by my own

A synthetic perfect home

Knowing no loss occurs in isolation

Where night comes faster than you think

Spreading over me like ink

And going blind is just a consolation

Everything dies

One world at a time

And fingers crossed

Today it’s mine

Everything dies

One world at a time

And fingers crossed

Today it’s mine
