Lyrics The Mars Volta

The Mars Volta

El Ciervo Vulnerado

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 fell 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 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
