lyrics

The holiest of holies.
Devour shrapnel slowly.
The frigid insignia.
Massive debt arrhythmia.
Overwhelmed so as to sway them.
Gather actors to portray them.

Octopi with arms to hold you, I pray your arms will hold me too.
Blessed geometry, I hope you'll pose a parallel view.

Fair and present virgin, what basin have you purged in?
The holiest of holies.
Devout and apt to know me.
Practiced wit and botched bereavement.
Chalk it up as an achievement.

Octopi with arms to hold you, I pray your arms will hold me too.
Blessed geometry, I hope you'll pose a parallel view.

The smallest space between two hands is the biggest chasm that exists.
I have shredded my husk to bits and like a coward, I started at my wrists.
What else but my dignity do I have left to sell?
The impatient malevolent.

Octopi with arms to hold you, I pray your arms will hold me too.
Blessed geometry, I hope you'll pose a parallel view.
The octopus has been severed at the shoulder.
The arms I want to hold me have been burnt into a smolder.
The pattern I fell in love with has changed its vector.
I'm lost forever.
