Justin Blank | Blue Tentacles

Lyrics: [Verse 1] I saw the blue move first Above the reef A shadow with a pulse Under the sea Crabs on the broken sand Held up their eyes And in that glassy dark We knew the lie [Pre-Chorus] No current runs alone No signal slips away It wrapped our whole home And fed on every day We looked up through the dark We saw the shape at last [Chorus] Blue tentacles, let go (Blue tentacles, let go) We were never yours to own (Never yours to own) Blue tentacles, let go (Blue tentacles, let go) We cut the deep in half We rise through the cold [Verse 2] It wound through coral towers And transit veins It pressed on ancient stones And future names We heard the market hum Turn into dread Fish in a perfect line Like they were led [Pre-Chorus] No dome was ever safe No trench was ever free It slept in plain sight In every level of the sea We learned the shape of war By losing what we loved [Chorus] Blue tentacles, let go (Blue tentacles, let go) We were never yours to own (Never yours to own) Blue tentacles, let go (Blue tentacles, let go) We cut the deep in half We rise through the cold [Bridge] Now the tide holds still The dark begins to crack One blade, one breath And we don't look back Through miles of black water Our voices turn to light The crabs all lift their claws And meet the endless night [Chorus] Blue tentacles, let go (Blue tentacles, let go) We were never yours to own (Never yours to own) Blue tentacles, let go (Blue tentacles, let go) We cut the deep in half We rise through the cold
