Cannibal Days Lyrics

A machine to fly you to the stars

A machine to save your heart from scars

If you can draw me one

Before these days are gone

A machine to dry your eyes from tears

A guiding light for you to fight your fears

O, to build you one of those

I'd pour in my heart, my soul

When the waves all come

And you know they will

Cause they always do

It would come for you

Like you know I would

When the waves all rise

It would pick you up

Lift your head up high

It would stick with you

Keep you safe inside

But remember, people might just be afraid

That's because they won't believe

What they'll see

You better wave at them

From high above the ground

In your Giant Squid Machine

And you'll be off forever more

Octopus arms of stainless steel

A rib cage filled with turning wheels

A jumbled mess of wires

Fuses, amplifiers

Wings of tin, a lightning bolt

A bent antenna, a telescope

To keep an eye on you

Like I wish I could

When the waves all come

And you bet they will

I have seen them too

It would come for you

Like I wish I could

When the waves all rise

It would pick you up

Lift your head up high

It would stick with you

Like I said I would

But remember, people might just be afraid

Of things they've never seen

You better laugh at them

From high above the clouds

In your Giant Squid Machine

And you'll be off forever more

Hang on to what you know

Hang on to what you're taught

Hang on to how you feel

Hang on to your beliefs

Hang on to who you are

I may seem so very far

I will never let you go

You will never be alone
