Prompt: "Octopodes"

[Verse 1] Deep in the dark where the pressures rise Silent watcher with three beating hearts Eight long arms with a thousand eyes A master of camouflage and ancient arts Blue blood flowing through the ocean floor Slipping through a crack in the cellar door [Chorus] Octopodes, shifting in the deep Never counting hours, never fast asleep Liquid intelligence, a phantom of the sea Shapeshift, fade away, wild and free An alien mind in a watery dome In the coral gardens, they call home [Verse 2] No bones to bind them, no walls can hold A jet of ink and they're gone in the cold Thinking with their skin, feeling every tide Nowhere to run but they know how to hide A flash of copper, a display of neon light An underwater spirit of the endless night [Chorus] Octopodes, shifting in the deep Never counting hours, never fast asleep Liquid intelligence, a phantom of the sea Shapeshift, fade away, wild and free An alien mind in a watery dome In the coral gardens, they call home [Outro] Three hearts beat Deep in the cold Shifting shapes A wonder to behold [Instrumental fadeout]
