Architeuthis

I have been down here for so many years
Far from your poison wind gadgets and gears
And the blood in my veins flows just like ice
That's the way that I like it
I think it feels nice
Won’t you let me go down
Float away from the light
Won't you let me go down
It's a beautiful night
Gliding away in my inky black sea
Let me go down
Let me be

So you took my right arm and my dignity
Go ahead take what you want
But let me go free
You’re not going to help things by lying to me
Because my days are numbered on that we agree

You let me go down
Float away from the light
Won't you let me go down
It's a beautiful night
Gliding away in my inky black sea
Let me go down
Let me be
I can remember a time
When I was unknown
I was graceful and silent
Alive and alone

So here you come with your cameras and pencils and books
And all your preconceived notions
Like grappling hooks
You say you've come to meet the “real me”
Well here is some insight
I'll give you for free

You let me go down
Float away from the light
Won't you let me go down
It's a beautiful night
Gliding away in my inky black sea
Let me go down
Let me be please
Please, please let me go down
Let me be
Please let me go down
