Octopus

alive under water
i breathe into straws
i swim under water
a swimming horse
alone under water
i walk under water
i sleep under water at night
i cry under water
i fly under water
i'm safe under water at night

i swim i swim i am

i walk under water
i've made up my mind
i will walk under water until i shine
to be like another
turn water to wine
what i see of the surface
is what i read between the lines

i tried to kill myself
now i shine

awake under water
i will stay under water
'till i drop i'm alive
i'm alone at last

i tried to kill myself
now i shine
