Octopus On My Face

[Verse 1]
You crawl from the cracks in the ceiling
Ink on the sheets of my bed
Wrap every jagged thought in your feeling
Kiss every fear in my head
[Pre-Chorus]
I claw at the dark for an exit
Nails in the paint
In the plaster
Your quiet laugh in my chest like a hex
Pulling me faster
Faster
[Chorus]
You’re like an octopus on my face
You hold on tight when I beg you to break
Every breath you steal
Makes me need you the same
Come what may
Come what may
I suffocate just to stay
[Verse 2]
You trace little circles of poison
Across the soft part of my throat
Your whispers bloom like a toxin
A gravestone carved as a note
[Pre-Chorus]
I tear at your arms till they tighten
Bruises in bloom like a rose
I say I’m done as my pupils widen
You’re the last thing I let go
[Chorus]
You’re like an octopus on my face
You hold on tight when I beg you to break
Every breath you steal
Makes me need you the same
Come what may
Come what may
I suffocate just to stay
[Bridge]
Twist your limbs around my halo (halo)
Turn my halo to a chain (chain)
If this hunger is my halo
Let it drag me down again
[Chorus]
You’re like an octopus on my face
You hold on tight when I beg you to break
Every breath you steal
Makes me need you the same
Come what may
Come what may
I suffocate
I suffocate
Just to stay

Organ pads and choir swells add cathedral gloom; bridge drops to half-time with dissonant chord stabs and a final climactic wall of sound., romantic
