Lyrics The Mars Volta

The Mars Volta

Cassandra Gemini

I think I've become one of the others

I think I've become one of the others

I think I've become one of the others

There was a frail syrup dripping off

His lap danced lapel, punctuated by her

Decrepit prowl she washed down the hatching

Gizzard soft as a mane of needles

His orifice icicles hemorrhaged

By combing her torso to a pile

Perspired the trophy shelves made room for his collapse

She was a mink handjob in sarcophagus heels

Bring me to my knees

Read the sharpened lines

All my arms

Bled me blind

Faucet leaks in shadows

Spilling from morgue lancet

Caressed your fontanelle

I've sworn to kill

Every last one

Every last one

Panic in the shakes of the wounded

Panic in the worms

Onto the floor

And out of your mouth

Out of your eyelids

No there's no light

In the darkest of your furthest reaches

No there's no light

In the darkest of your furthest reaches

All your dreams

splintered off

Leech by leech

On this catafalque

Anyone will tell you

Yes anyone

Chance had me setting a trip wire alarm

Your mother flirted with disease

When she skinned that costume by it's navel strings

Panic in the shakes of the wounded

Panic in the worms

Onto the floor

And out of your mouth

And out of your eyelids

No there's no light

In the darkest of your furthest reaches

No there's no light

In the darkest of your furthest reaches

No there's no light

In the darkest of your furthest reaches

No there's no light

In the darkest of your furthest reaches

Shockless shackles free you

Fools taste tongues

I better leave you again,

I won't be owned

Not this time

Shockless shackles free you

Volt face cons

abandon you again

I won't feel not this time

Brick by brick

the night eclipsed

Pricked by cuticle thorns

Dried the sleep

on nursery slits

Into this life I'm born

Heaven's just a scab away

I'd like to see you after just one taste

Sink your teeth into the flesh of midnight

Night forever more

let them see it has begun

The others I've become

If you should see the dice

Charmed with it's snaked choked eyes

You'll wear the widows weeds

Because they're just your size

Behind the snail secretion

Leaves a dry heave that absorbs

a limbless procreation

let the infant crawled deformed

A bag replace the breath

of these suffocating sheets

and now when the craving calls

I'll scratch my itchy teeth

And soon

Come on

if you don't know...

Come on

if you dont know

Sink your teeth into

the flesh of midnight

Night forever more

Sink your teeth into

the flesh of midnight

Night forever more

She fell for the whispers

Sister flooded deaf tears

that night tore a river

in her baron womb mirror

And his multiple sons

with their mandible tongues

set crucified fires to petrified homes

let it burn

And the owls they were watching

and the owls did't care

then the owls came a knocking

placenta in their stares

They will feed on all the carnage

leftover from the flood

and in the corner of their eyes

fled sister L'Via

Now the pieces went floating

reflecting all at dusk

conceived from the stabbing

was Vismund Cygnus

25 wives in the lake tonight

raw bark in the water of the marble shrine

25 snakes pour out your eyes

yeah the icepicks cumming on the marble shrine

25 snakes are drowning

You cant bend your crooked arms

or fold your punctured proof

the air is growing cold

and there's nothing you can do

Soon there'll be no gauze

inside the confessional

only rows of crows

defrocking every breath

And one day you'll remember

behind the melting cones

I said one day you'll remember

behind the melting cones

you've already had a family

in the burial of your home

Not forevermore

And I peel back all of my skin

peel it back let it all run

Brick by brick

the night eclipsed

Pricked by cuticle thorns

Dried the sleep

on nursery slits

Into this life I'm born

Heaven's just a scab away

I'd like to see you after just one taste

Sink your teeth into the flesh of midnight

Night forever more

let them see it has begun

The others I've become

No there's no light

In the darkest of your furthest reaches

No there's no light

In the darkest of your furthest reaches

No there's no light

In the darkest of your furthest reaches

No there's no light

In the darkest of your furthest reaches

No there's no light (No there's no light, no there's no time)

In the darkest of your furthest reaches (You ain't got nothing your life was just a lie)

No there's no light (No there's no light, no there's no time)

In the darkest of your furthest reaches (You ain't got nothing, you ain't got...)

The ocean floor is hidden from your viewing lense

A depth perception languished in the night

All my life I've been sewing the wounds

But the seeds sprout a lachrymal cloud
