"Kraken" lyrics

As effervescent as you seem
I don't wanna be the one who always takes
One for the team
One for the team

It's complicated what you see
I'm defending what you've done
And I don't know if it's for me
Was it for me
I'll try and try again
Use casuistry to no end
And when they finally break
The rose will fade my lens
Oh the kraken

I cast away you'd never think
Wondering if it's a change I need to make
Or a dumb dream
What a dumb dream
I'm comprehending what I've seen
No you never gave a single thought or
Damn about me
Now I'm cracking
Oh the kraken
I'll try and try again
No clever words help me defend
And when the ship sinks down
All of the words will drown
I think I'll stay for a while
Go that extra mile
Make it happen
Despite all your flaws I'll find us another way
Stifle the pain down the aisle
Living in denial
Of the kraken
Wait for the call
You know I won't hesitate

I'm still looking for semblance of
The way you used to love me
The way you used to tell me
It's okay
It's okay
But now the time is gone
And now it's filled with moments where I'd
Run to the mirror just to see if I smile
How could a second turn into a mile
I'll play pretend just to see you smile
And now it's filled with moments where I'd
Run to the mirror just to see if I smile
How could a second turn into a mile
Run to the mirror
I think I'll stay for a while
Go that extra mile
Make it happen
Despite all your flaws I'll find us another way
Stifle the pain down the aisle
Living in denial
Of the kraken
Wait for the call
You know I won't hesitate
