lyrics

Krakenhead

Bmi A#mi Bmi Cmi Bmi A#mi Gmi F#mi

Not quite my decision
But I've fallen into this new division
I've separated for the evening
They'll sign me up for a life of debt and months of dealing
Every last one of you should load up and start retreating
Cause the fun has passed the chance on it’s own believing
As I lie on the ground, knocked out while my head is bleeding
Don't know how I went from dinner to delirium
And every breath I take I hear another paramedic screaming

Chorus
Kraken my head, there’s a cut in my chest and I’m sure to lose my brain power
Let’s hope I’m not dead who will jump in and play let’s start a parade now!
Kraken my head, there’s a cut in my chest and I’m sure to lose my brain power
Everyone insists that they want to get ahead
So why not join me in the world of the dead now!

Puts on her gloves and starts to feel around my chest
Not the first time I've been informed this place is such a mess
Lets me know my heart is a hard one to find
Don't know how to tell her there has been a constant decline
Every girl I've ever loved has left around her remnants
And if you want to echo that you'll have to be more permanent
Know your ears are trying their best to hear the sounds
That my heart beats into this drum as I scream aloud

Chorus

Keep on trying to climb back up into my mind
But all the world’s forgotten me
I'm lost in an older time
People seem to give a damn who's kicking on the inside
And will he fall over from another mental suicide
I’ve got a girl I love to kiss, my dreams have gone amiss
This world has reversed to the years before I lost our bliss
Last thing I want is to be lied to by my mind
And I wouldn’t want to spend my time living in rewind

Chorus
