Lark throated spit through beaks tonight
These gagging chirps were written in disguise What's that sound? Caskets floating Hey you did you ever intend to sleep inside my tomb And you would ever attempt to kick from inside of this womb Hey you would you ever attempt the excavation of these fossils And in case you haven't noticed, we're already dead This gravity is a quadriplegic horse and carriage... Pendulum swing through tantrm This scalpel's gaze untamed won't feel romantic What's that sound? Caskets floating In layman's term sewn through matrimony |

In a small ghost town, there's a little arcade,
where the poltergeists play their video games. (On the roof he says...) Game over they said, Game over they said run and get your quarters in. (Over cliffs we will swim ahead.) Do the shackles underneath your bed haunt the records in their grooves? (And he said inside of them...) Salem is home Sentenced to live. Yes, this I know Comes back tenfold, fold, fold. Run and get your quarters in. At the bottom of a french blue pool, Roamed the drunk chipped tooth Of the man in the moon. (Jump on the roof he said.) Burn, furnace burn At the bottom of the cliff, Shined a diamond with no end to its trip. Do the shackles underneath your bed haunt the records in their grooves? (And they said it's all over.) Salem is home Sentenced to live. Yes, this i know Comes back tenfold, fold, fold. Hook and sinker. (x3) I wrote it all down for you. Match a name to the face. Do you suspect? Do you confess? Do you confess? Salem is home Sentenced to live. Yes, this i know Comes back tenfold, fold, fold. |

In the humble stench of nativity,
Hummed the smell of television snow. A faint S.O.S. flickering, Riding on the coattails of your ground zero. Neighborhood footprints ingrown. The daylight savings time will never know of this alabaster cold, of this alabaster. Your lover's quarrel ended up in a crawspace. Dental identities will tell us apart. Teeth marked and bounded with sighs. "Step into my parlor." said the spider to the fly. Stable hooved footprints ingrown. Cloak and dagger music blared in ohms of this alabaster cold, of this alabaster cold, of this alabaster cold. Ingrown! Ingrown! Ingrown! Ingrown! More caliber per capita. Ingrown! Ingrown! More caliber per capita. Ingrown! More caliber per capita. More, more, more, more caliber per capita. More, more caliber per capita. More caliber per capita. Neighborhood footprints ingrown.

The milk cartons that pour will never know of this alabaster cold, of this alabaster cold, of this alabaster cold, of this alabaster cold. |

Does it all make sense now? And if the ship was built in bottled sand, Does it all make sense now? The anchor's kiss was scrawled in dyslexic crayon. Does it all make sense now? Is this just a life preserve or a bivouac tenure? The tropic of cancer answered, "Drink the quicksand." A mirror was splintered on the decks floor. Does it all make sense now?

Taking a ride. And i'm wishing, For the satellite. Grabbing vein. Pulling down, On the radio. Laughing at the face that's bending down. I'm all alone so far up here, And my oxygen's all gone. Bend the metal. My glory box has failed. We're rocking in our reclining chairs. Drive away. That car, That brought us all this harm. Those are the pieces of my story line. I'm all alone so far up here, And my oxygen's all gone. I'm all alone so far up here, And my oxygen's all gone. Truly, Stressing, Realization. I wish I was an astronaut. Eight hour, Bitterness.

Pet sounds filling pet peeve voids.
Black and white TV with the sound turned down, Is this mono or stereo? Lending aneurysm. Satisfaction in the fruitless gaze of your Mona Lisa's lazy smile. Trick ourselves in portable stanzas. Black Russian throated on this guillotine cancer. How steep we are. But there's just no telling, Just no telling. Savion is under heel, Clicking Morse code through movie stills, Again. Savion is under heel, Clicking Morse code through movie stills, Again. The sky had blackened with carrion birds. Pinstriped suits and cigarettes, Tapped danced through this tepid burlesque. Their mouths were parched with excess thirst. Bridge and chorus candy curse, Still they snag through the strepthroat verse. Pet sounds filling pet peeve voids. Black and white TV with the sound turned down, Is this mono or stereo? If I had a dollar For every plot that you made, In this bed of nails we made. Trick ourselves in portable stanzas. Black Russian throated on this guillotine cancer. How steep we are. But there's just no telling, Just no telling. Pet sounds filling pet peeve voids. Black and white TV with the sound turned down. Like breathing blood through the lungs of a czar's child. Through the lungs of a czar's child. Through the lungs of a czar's child. Savion is under heel, Clicking Morse code through movie stills, Again. Savion is under heel, Clicking Morse code through movie stills, Again.

I'm just tired of counting bodies
Is this mausoleum tardy Let's just paint you a pretty face Flies dip tongues into tear ducts In toothpicks fought unborn Contusion is hungry They still eat their young Proto-culture null and void All veins in highway laps This breath collapsed again This hex was delivered spent Orchestra influenza Drawn and quartered pets It dwells and grows This is the pocket sized edition Rabid sleep through benediction Let's just paint you a pretty face Museums mark their bodies down And the tenants found All the distance in their prefix Contusion is hungry They still eat their young Proto-culture null and void Fever bliss into central nervousness Bitten on the entrance I was bitten on the entrance |

Lark throated spit through beaks tonight
These gagging chirps were written in disguise What's that sound? Caskets floating Hey you did you ever intend to sleep inside my tomb And you would ever attempt to kick from inside of this womb Hey you would you ever attempt the excavation of these fossils And in case you haven't noticed, we're already dead This gravity is a quadriplegic horse and carriage... Pendulum swing through tantrm This scalpel's gaze untamed won't feel romantic What's that sound? Caskets floating In layman's term sewn through matrimony |

And with the money in my hand, I'm gonna purchase all the details. Scrub you clean with my soap opera chirping. Walking on tiptoed pickpocket fever. Racing up the scales of your thermometer. Turnbuckle tourniquet clotting the moonshine. Clotheslined seizures singing happy valentines. I'm singing happy, happy, happy valentines, yeah. I found feathers in your hit and run nest, yeah. Omerttas not a prayer on your rosary beads. I found feathers in your hit and run nest, yeah. And when you say... And when she knocked me over, I looked inside the hearse. Sprouting chauvinistic swine, And written were the words. Poking butter with this knife. Allergic to this concubine. Racing by in a '56 Chevy, And we couldn't even pretend, To be alive...

(Spoken:)
I had a friend who died for something he really loved. I had a friend who stood for none of the above. I had a friend whose experience was riddled with scars. Who got drunk one night in the trunk of Louie P.'s car. I had a friend who'd love to scare you, as was his affection. And tremble you did cause you weren't worthy of his friendship. I had a friend, but now he's stranded on the Mesa Street exit. And sometimes I'm jealous cause I'm still at the intersection. I had a friend whose heart was too heavy to hold. Yes, there's blood on the median like a boat without oars. Duct tape the cross on the brown colored box. Well single file line on the unpaved road. (The road.) Well they tipped their hats, respect for the dead. (The road.) In Juarez, Mexico is where they buried my friend. There are no words To express the loss I feel since you've been away. You made a typical sad song, A physical classroom. Where I learned nothing. Just flashes of your, Face. Just flashes of your, Face. And my solution is: It's all a facade. It's all a facade. It's all a facade. And nothing really matters. (No.) It's all a facade. It's all a facade. It's all a facade. But nothing really matters. (No.) It's all a facade. It's all a facade. I said it's all a facade. But nothing really matters now. (No.) It's all a facade. It's all a facade. I said it's all a facade. (The road.) Now he's stranded somewhere on the mesa street exit.

Yes, there's blood on the median like a boat without oars. (Go.) I had a friend whose heart was too heavy to hold. Too heavy to hold. Who'd felt too heavy to hold. And there's blood on the median like a boat without oars. Like a boat without oars. D-d-d-die. It's all a facade. It's all a facade. I said it's all a facade. But nothing really matters now.

Your telephone's the one that helped Me wrap The cord Around your neck You know you're beautiful, When you're Dead. (I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N.) Initiation. (I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N.) Initiation.

This voltage hurts just a little. In the thickness of the van, You drop anchor if and when. Concealing all the thoughts, We hid and laughed forever. In the thickness of the van, You drop anchor if and when. Repelling essence swelling, something to blame. Bleeding profusely, outside looking tame. The nerve of your hometown... I'm drinking slovenly. Leave me alone, Leave me alone. I am not your brother. I see five holes In your flag. Repelling essence swelling, something to blame. And from these hands sweeps the grenade. I'm swimming down. Leave me alone, Leave me alone. (I am not your brother.) Well, I'm not your brother. I see five holes In your flag. Collect calling. The fuse is crawling. To the next hometown. Collect calling. The fuse is crawling. Can you feel the bite of my nails? (Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Can you feel it?) Can you feel the bite of my nails? Leave me alone, Leave me alone.

A shelve of pig smotherd cries Is there a spirit that spits Upon the exit of signs Is anybody there These steps keep on growing long Bayonet trials rust propellers await No Nobody is heard Rowing sheep smiles for the dead Nobody is heard An antiquated home Afloat with engines on mute Sui generis ship spined around the yard Is anybody there These craft only multiply At the nape of ruins rust propellers await No Nobody is heard compass wilting in the wind Nobody is heard Rowing sheep smile for the dead Tansoceanic depth in this earth No Nobody is heard compass wilting in the wind Nobody is heard Rowing sheep smile for the dead Tansoceanic depth in this earth in this cenotaph Lash of one thousand eye brows clicking Counting the toll Counting the toll You've got the lot to burn A shelve of pig smothered cries Is there a spirit that spits upon the exit of signs Is anybody there These steps keep on growing long Bayonet trials rust propellers await No Nobody is heard compass wilting in the wind Nobody is heard rowing sheep smile for the dead Transoceanic depth in this earth in this cenotaph Carpel jets Hit the ground Carpel jets Hit the ground Carpel jets Hit the ground Carpel jets Hit the ground Lash of one thousand eyebrows clicking Counting the toll Counting the toll Lash of one thousand eyebrows clicking Counting the toll Counting the toll |

Don't you pretend
That I'm not alive My bones never ache Unless she's near by Where is your face In a safe of dead tongues I can see your reflection In your totem first glare(?) I suspect You've been carrying a pack of wolves A regret Not killing you while I had the chance I know I had the chance Maybe I will always haunt you Mark the somnolence with truth Better hang your dead palace Than have a living home to lose In the river Ganges, God damns my name Don't let these hands Sharpen your eyes A rasp of tails |

Rusbel awaits I've been to the surface And nothing is there Eyelids sank muffled In the nerve aura sound But when she awakes Will she still be with us My heart is darkclots Leap year is late How did you get here Ask all but the bait From a christ that went hissing Constricting his cells We summon by candle by book and by bell Glossolalia coats my skin Glycerin and turbulence Stuffed the voice inside of God Mirrors to the animals The sermon goes mourning Pricking it's hail Slothful the child That preys on the seed Shall behead the drough Wound under sleeves I hope you have room In a thicket of vines Give me a moment To clean what you've stole The streets will hang high Stretch ribs and let taste We'll cover the smell with silver nitrate Mending the cuts of your prosthetic faith Glossolalia coats my skin Glycerin and turbulence Stuffed the voice inside of God Mirrors to the animals Then so long Dear mnemonic Assume the form You've given me and I'll spill Now hold on Just hold my hand Say that they made you But you brought your own leash Tell me no more no Say I'm the last one Outside By the drift You read my will Of thread and itch Failure to comply As failure to decease And still you won't know everything I've built the fall Sulking drained the fall of my pale will Swarming by your steps Licking the ankles of blasphemer guilts It only meant to drape a plastic Over the stuck pig scalp of head To cover the sock where the flatline had spread The kiosk in my temporal lobe Is shaped like rosalyn carter She says my map is home again But torn face down I have only but a million blemishes To tell you all about In the end they just gagged me To make him come out Gas me the hind Of your five legged snare Tooth picks the eye But no things there Down drags your waltz Cross the alter top From a sleep that Depravation knew Trespass your form I'm void of dusk I'd ask to look But the mask stays on You'll levitate Teutonic print Cruelty is the wrath Of my instrument In the end they just gagged me To make him come out You locked the cuffs Arsenic erupts Will you drink the shadow Of my red hair You and your false Witness to God You've one in the chamber But your finger got stuck Let slip the sound Of a cry for help But all was lost On the night you walked Palms speak through eyes Serve your memory lost I contaminate with insignias In the end they just gagged me To make him come out Glossolalia coats my skin Glycerin and turbulence Stuffed the voice inside of God Mirrors to the animals Wait till it get my hands on you I won't forget a face that left me Just you wait Till I get my hands on you I can't You won't remember Unwrap my corpse And let it thaw In the eye of the needle I can't get out They'll check my wrist I'll faint a pulse I'm not the human You thought I was If you pet the night Sixth pentacle dice If you roll the seven St. michael dies They'll be no ransom Don't shut my mouth I scald the answer You're afraid of |

Sawing off the pavement
Repenting their past lives Might I be the only pain that's left to be left behind? Clay and pygmy footsteps Rusted, boil it clean A bullet in linguistics That only we can breathe Now, I got a prayer that'll make you theirs now Beneath sepulchres Raise your entrails as an offer Now, I got a prayer that'll make you theirs now Beneath sepulchres Raise your entrails as an offer Following with pitchforks In a cattle prodded theme Signaling the sedative To emaciate the queen Bowing in constriction Any time you leave We've slipped ourselves in angels In catabata leaves Now, I got a prayer that'll make you theirs now Beneath sepulchres Raise your entrails as an offer Now, I got a prayer that'll make you theirs now Beneath sepulchres Raise your entrails as an offer In my sign I was born To bring death at the footsteps of your home Tonight I have sown All the hair and crooked nails That you all have worn While your white sense of hope I plant the vermin Just who makes it so? How long must we fold our hands? Our guts are burning wheels again Get a match that will make you thin Come clean with the antidote After all we came undone A pair of sluts with hosts that fall One day we will pay your debt Our centipedes will pick the dead Poachers in your home How long must we fold our hands? Our guts are burning wheels again Get a match that will make you thin Come clean with the antidote After all we came undone A pair of sluts with hosts that fall One day we will pay your debt Our centipedes will pick the dead Follow every bottle out And the cruelest smut, smut you know It's the gash that autumn knows Daughters lying at the door Raise the body Breathe your clear air Everybody will call aloud Everybody calls aloud Everybody sing aloud My hands secrete a monument I am the reason For your missing child He might be home But there's no trace Under your pillow I have left a spine All the things we do When you're away I saw the message That you wrote in the sand Dismembered heads that come away The anaesthetic of your gospel sin Put a muzzle on the lamb Put a muzzle on the lamb Give me one page Give me one page Make it blank Mix it, a leak will rain Give me one page Give me one page Make it blank We shall inflict your way Maybe one day you'll stop and realize All that you serveis dead Give me your plate Give me your plate Make it break Nothing you hold is safe How long must we fold our hands? Our guts are burning wheels again Get a match that will make you thin Come clean with the antidote After all we came undone A pair of sluts with hosts that fall One day we will pay your debt Our centipedes will pick the dead Poachers in your home |

I've been drinking black mirror again
The closer we part I needed to touch your lips With the nail in my heart The night that you caught me My coffin did walk I feel at your mercy I fell in your grave Meccamputechture That stands in my way The younger I stay An elderly child The longer the mirror gives birth To the death I file If you consume me I will not let you go If you walk right through me My voice will taint your throat Blessed be the wrong I've done Someone is watching us Someone has found Fluorescent ligaments On a black and white tile Why do you call them If your kingdom won't come The younger I stay Forever I rot If you consume me I will not let you go If you walk right through me My voice will taint your throat Blessed be the wrong I've done Because the flies my mouth spill Bare the children at play ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By RODRIGUEZ, OMAR/BIXLER, CEDRIC <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |

Tired of their own shells All the non-believers Torso in the well Am I the one you're after The novice made to find stray abberation stalking Plans that forgot me 99 times The only thing to alter Stands in the way of you I want your cramps To fit the fillings of my teeth Have you seen the living Tired of their own shells All the non-believers Torso in the well And don't you try and ask me Your expiration date The plans that forgot me 99 times You'll be the one who opens the gate Carry water in a basket Where the hole was dug the first time The head that carries the body A blood that flows through veins Have you seen the living Tired of their own shells All the non-believers Torso in the well When it calls I'll answer Do you need to repent Plans that forgot me 99 times I'll stick around for 99 times The fault lines you prepare have darkened Blank rings instead of sight Goliath are you receiving Dismembered you've arrived Have you seen the living Tired of their own shells All the non-believers Torso in the well. |

> Maybe I'll break down
Maybe I'll try Circumvent inoculation And I just want a cut When will I break down? Lately I might Un-connect the fascination And I just want to touch This is a list They're my demands Forget the question Come on bring your nervous hands You read it in my letter ""Patience worth is dead"" Suffocate the inkwell ""I am legion"" said the pen Her seraph snout And cruciform limp I blame the shrouding of a lesser man My sigil contraptions They walk with no crutches Don't show me the hinges I am absent Maybe I'll break down Maybe I'll try Circumvent inoculation And I just want a cut When will I break down? Lately I might Un-connect the fascination And I just want to touch She came to me When she was pouring out of drool Under sedation Under vulgar multitudes If you stay and try To fix what you did The sheets were wet from all those messages A million petitions Her lock with no key You forfeit the right to be believed Full implant Shapeless as a jewel And I am stranded by eternal solitude Maybe I'll break down Maybe I'll try Circumvent inoculation And I just want a cut When will I break down? Lately I might Un-connect the fascination And I just want to touch The vault that I call home It falls beneath your palms Before I crawl my way out She calls When you're standing right outside my window Water thirsting You're standing right outside my window Water thirsting When will I drown? I'll never get a distant shot Heard vesper pure I never want to see your face Until the word is made flesh You'd better ask Metatron Those flowers that withered away In the pages of your book For one day they won't block your route In the dead plot you dream in Ten go away Ten born of pray Ten go away Folding wormholes My time is riding in the alphabet Folding wormholes My time is riding on the wall In the dead plot you dream in Ten go away Ten born of pray Ten go away Folding wormholes My time is riding in the alphabet Folding wormholes My time is riding on the wall Debase by your sentence I fell in the trap What door slid behind me? I can't see it anymore When she sleeps as a witness Got no better hands Tied a single stutter Do you speak my dialect? Accidents will happen Keep your earnings to yourself One sip under the table Until it moves all by itself In the eye of Fatima I've kept all your dreams In a waking solution of indictment Maybe I'll break down Maybe I'll try Circumvent inoculation And I just want a cut When will I break down? Lately I might Un-connect the fascination And I just want to touch |

Does my waiting howl? Am I waiting now? Does my waiting howl? [x2] I bring an avalanche of toltec bones Contaminated cravings if you choose To play something that aches for a spill Leave out the meat for that contact high Inhale the vapors and let the hangman smile For that something to shake by roots [Chorus] Bring me the tame Witness germinates in the child That word of mouth stutters Blink at the lonely dice [x2] Don't know |

That night I remember what you slipped in my glass We came rewinding when I foamed at the mouth while the lights winked at me And now my shape is kept The rain it can't hide, wash the pain from this hex Is it so permanent? Did she catch a left eye when it blinks three times Or once just to seal you in? In your drunken breath did it stain like us In place of poison heat? I gotta rid this world of your intention Swap the corpse in the casket Give me that corpse please The one that tore nightly I really want it now Fold the arms slowly Don't want you to hold me It fits just like a glove Does he make you feel alright? When I seep inside your truth through suspicious little coughs You sank your nails inside a key while the door you shut closed up The black stockings you kept smell of wet cigarette Torn of lust that you could not keep I have slept inside your fault to have you keep me here on this leash For the rest of your pets I will feed to this theft As we consummate the vows of defeat And when you pray for an end to this I do believe this is eternity Give me that corpse please The one that tore nightly I really want it now Fold the arms slowly Don't want you to hold me It fits just like a glove Your closet is bulging White marrow withholding Does he make you feel alright? Give me that corpse please The one that tore nightly I really want it now Fold the arms slowly Don't want you to hold me It fits just like a glove Your closet is bulging White marrow withholding Does he make you feel alright? Never heard a man speak like this man before Never heard a man speak like this man before All the days of my life ever since I've been born Never heard a man speak like this man before Watch me now Say it, say it, say it loud Say it, say it, say it loud Hold your heavy burden In a pocket full of drink that I have drunk Spit the remnants in your direction This is the closest to any kingdom that you will come I'm starting to feel a miscarriage coming on It's numbing a stump clearing in my throat And I just can't lose grip of it She fumigated my mental hygiene I'm all out of pulse but I know you can resuscitate me Never heard a man speak like this man before Never heard a man speak like this man before All the days of my life ever since I've been born Never heard a man speak like this man before Never heard a man speak like this man before Never heard a man speak like this man before All the days of my life ever since I've been born Never heard a man speak like this man before Watch me now |

When I get the sweats From you listening Primordial cymatics Giving birth into reverse Serrated mare ephemera Undo her mother's curse So if you Break me a mirror Hang the broken pieces Of a place That isn't here Don't hide that guilty smile Condolences Won't go away The coins you bring Left footprints Blind thirst And braille liquor My bed is stained With fractures Year after vitiated year Four corners You are touching They will liberate My need Bite marks In the menagerie With infidelic teeth Is there something Out there Waiting to take hold When the whore Won't answer Who is in control And the names you planted Drop the seed into a hole If you force me often I might jump off the board And the names you planted Drop the seed into a hole If you force me often I might jump off the board I am a deaf con of angora goats Warning you all who pass this mote It's only a matter of folding Time and space Before I become your epidemic Is this your first time at my conventicle You better not talk If you came here for semantics It's only a matter of folding time and space Before I become your epidemic Don't ignore my presence Hidden reads the scroll By the time I asked her The earth fell off the tongue What once was laughter Corrosive, I became What once was laughter Corrosive, I became Where a scarlet Bruise grows Sprout the fault we own I am a deaf con of angora goats Warning you all who pass this mote It's only a matter of folding Time and space Before I become your epidemic Is this your first time at my conventicle You better not talk If you came here for semantics It's only a matter of folding time and space Before I become your epidemic Don't hide Your guilty fright Condolences won't go away You've got that guilty smile That culminates in bedlam Please don't hide Your guilty fright Condolences won't go away You've got that guilty smile That culminates in bedlam Don't hide Your guilty fright Condolences won't go away You've got that guilty smile That culminates in bedlam Don't hide Your guilty fright Condolences won't go away You've got that guilty smile That culminates in bedlam Don't hide Your guilty fright Condolences won't go away You've got that guilty smile That culminates in bedlam I am a deaf con of angora goats Warning you all who pass this mote It's only a matter of folding Time and space Before I become your epidemic Is this your first time at this conventicle You better not talk If you came here for semantics It's only a matter of folding time and space Before I become your epidemic |

I shoulda known you'd always scratch that itch When you asked me for safe passage on my shoulders where we slid And just before you laid dead weight upon its shores I stung you in the face for that's the nature of my core Because I got distance don't let it close Gotta let me know You've just gotta let me know Because Forget which way is out now Gotta let me know You've just gotta let me know I'm nowhere near this place you wear It's unforgivable it knows that I am visible I'm broken mirrors and useless prayer This lock is healing me you know you came so willingly Waiting is a vessel that will take me to Love it knows no order when you taste the truth Because I'm trapped in this cement husk Gotta let me go You've just gotta let me go Because I paid with my own touch now I brought a little cut There is blood for every month In the way you used to call her wicked answers Time is a plague There's no time in this place If you don't If you don't Let me go Heaven's made a cesspool of us all I'm nowhere near this place you wear It's unforgivable it knows that I am visible I'm broken mirrors and useless prayer This lock is healing me you know you came so willingly There burns a kiss with serpent scales There is no miracle I lost your miracle I'm nowhere near this place you wear It's unforgivable it knows that I am visible I wrap myself around your buried question Through the blisters of confinement I seek to drain this broken shelter To refill the pigment case that I have left Don't stay long for teeth nurse the first wound Coats revolve hope to gain What if we find what tongue ties double windsor Invoke to no reply Those that lie have froze at the border No implies close the frame What if we find the sunlight draws a curtain Invoke to no reply There's a place where this depth charge ignites In this place where the soul has no purpose I can't believe you when your thirst won't let me go I am the moment you were always speaking of because there's No fence will hold the sentient Culprit fall about it Say when I can enter them Culprit fall about it One fell the other taste won't lie Make no doubt about it [x5] How many blame how many cave into the pressure I apply |

> My love becomes a mange
dyeing autumn in it's leaves when it broke me in the branch where my antlers come to feed and swam a hundred days in the bosom of this filth carry on this drought as i tighten this belt this deceit has no arms bended will take what's yours calling me she's calling me this it may have come to falter we have become these pleads In a field of balding marble where the medicine awaits the hourglass pokes at the ribs of my cage at half rations im finished at half rations the minutes all that happens was given coil and embrace this deceit has no arms bended will take what's yours calling me she's calling me this it may have come to falter we have become these pleads |

from The Mars Volta - Tremulant (2005)
In denial who will come clean
All the ravenous debris In disguise sideswiped by penance Cerecloth sentencing This scapegrace will pay my barking harangue...Are you listening? On the fourteenth you stole what Hasn't grown old in denial, File this under a bridge that he can't leave Will those shadows glare from that blank Rimmed stare in a vacancy hush Aunque me dejaste ahogando en el mar Aquestete en la tierra, de la realidad ed tu sueno manos me recuerdo solamente a ti te odio yo ya me voy In denial who will clean up All this ravenous debris In denial, file this under A bridge that he can't leave And the Storyville sawbones couldn't tell The prescription to mend all the broken wills In the white lie ward Don't you pretend Tangled in thorns to walk unborn And the debt will collect |

Por cuando te vi enfermo con mentiras
Este ladron cuenta se dio Trapa mal hecho de trampas te lo juro Que yo si te mato Y con cada dia que se pase recuerdate Quien era el mas poderoso (For when I saw you sick with lies This thief, he took notice Trap poorly made of tricks I swear to you And with everyday that passes Remember, Who was the most powerful) Don't let me Don't let me go There is a venom in numerical eyes Your convalescent thorns Upon a crown of maggots Your father shakes inside that third glass eye Come on and give it to me Come on and die In your viscera eyes Cataracts close the blinds Lend me your comfort Come cry by your side Aye, mi hijo, no me llores porque te qito de esta cruz Ni agachate vi caminado sin la alma de tu cuerpo En los brazos sin luz (Oh my son, don't cry for me Because I'll take you off this cross And don't duck I saw your body walking in the dark without a soul) They scalp our children by seven The border we're watching Where the other three now hide The culprits can't be seen from a premium of glass We shudder in this sigil then you carpe diem-tize Don't let me Don't let me go There is a venom in numerical eyes Your convalescent thorns Upon a crown of maggots Verucca shakes inside that third glass eye Come on and give it to me Come on and die In your viscera eyes Cataracts close the blinds Lend me your comfort Come cry by your side In your viscera eyes Cataracts close the blinds Lend me your comfort Come cry by your side Wait! I've seen the ark shake from your pneumonic tongue But the braile that you weave of itself it shall read aloud Yes it will I said, she's falling, she's still falling But no one wants to come She's crawling, she's still crawling On your burial ground Said, she's falling, she's still falling But no one wants to come I said, she's crawling, she's still crawling On your burial |

Intravenously polite it was the walkie-talkies
That had knocked the pins down As their shoes gripped the dirt floor In the silhouette of dying Dancing on the corpses ashes Yeah, they had plans for him They had spun the last of the pimps Polyester, satin nailed jewelery lips While the guillotine just laughed again Dancing on the corpses ashes And the paramedics fell into the wound Like a rehired scab at a barehanded plant An anesthetic penance beneath The hail of the contraband Dancing on the corpses ashes On my way Nails broke and fell Into the Wishing well, wishing well Wishing well, wishing well (x2) They had defected and been excommunicated And all the pulses were subverted And they made sure that the obituaries Showed pictures of smoke stacks Dancing on the corpses ashes A vivid dissection that mocked The strut of vivisection A semi-automatic colony And a silencing that still walks the streets Dancing on the corpses ashes In the company of wolves Was a stretcher made of Cobblestone curfews The federales perform Their custodial customs quite well Dancing on the corpses ashes On my way Nails broke and fell Into the Wishing well, wishing well Wishing well, wishing well (x4) Intravenously polite it was the walkie-talkies That had knocked the pins down As their shoes lay dangling on dirt floor In the silhouette of dying Dancing on the corpses ashes Yeah, they had plans for him They had spun the last of the pimps Polyester, satin nailed jewellery lips While the guillotine just slapped again Dancing on the corpses ashes And the paramedics fell into the wound Like a rehired scab at a barehanded plant An anesthetic penance beneath The hail of the contraband Dancing on the corpses ashes On my way Nails broke and fell Into the Wishing well, wishing well Wishing well, wishing well (x4) On my way Callous heels Numbed in travel Endless maps made By their scalpels, scalpels (x2) |

I-N-I-T-I
A-T-I-O-N. Follow you home after every show. Perforated into tiny fragments. Heavy breathing's your new fan club. A John Hancock with the safety off, After every show. And how this pedestal fits like glove. Such a pity I built no ladder from the roots And above i'll be hacking off, After every show. (I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N.) Initiation. (I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N.) Initiation. (I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N.) Initiation. (What!) What you doing? There's no restraining order to keep me from you, Yeah you, (Initiation.) Yeah you. (What!) Said, what you doing? These parting contestants never win. Parting contestants never seem to win. Watch you clap your hands by the stage. Lend me your ears for just another page. In the book that your friend signed yesterday. When I told you not to bother to holler. Your telephone's the one that helped Me wrap The cord Around your neck You know you're beautiful, When you're Dead. (I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N.) Initiation. (I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N.) Initiation. (I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N.) Initiation. (What!) What you doing? There's no restraining order to keep me from you, Yeah you, (Initiation.) Yeah you. (What!) What you doing? There's no restraining order to keep me from you. (Initiation.) Party protects us and every day fades away. |

Autonomous machete for hands
Warden and judge hide behind masks Wet raindrop lull Small rationing Exhumed the the rhetoric of Break the weak in single file Sanction this outbreak - a virus conspires Push become shove , days become months I seem to have forgotten the warmth of the sun Feeding frenzy its contagious Have trigger will travel Single sparks are spectral fires Shackled the grapple and sentinels found Binoculars watch cardboard towns Strung up in webs the net was flung Over the auditorium Slave trade the weak , no call to arms Sanction this outbreak ; a virus conspires Push become shove , days become months And I seem to have forgotten the warmth of the sun A single spark can start a spectral fire Have trigger will travel |
