Mars Volta - Ouroboros lyrics

rate me

It appears to me<br />

Quoting alarms<br />

The guillotine smirks<br />

In your house I smothered<br />

Sight unseen<br />

Sworn to harm<br />

Ground to a powder<br />

And soaked through the board<br />

<br />

[Chorus 1]<br />

Don't you ever, ever, ever trust my mercy<br />

Don't you ever, ever, ever trust my mercy<br />

When will you flirt with all that's burning?<br />

Keep them safe and by your side<br />

<br />

Of all that's left<br />

A lucid home<br />

Anecdote settles in the smear of this corpse<br />

If the larvae speaks ask where to go<br />

They mount the maker with a sulphur in fume<br />

<br />

[Chorus 1]<br />

<br />

[Chorus 2]<br />

Of all the warnings that you gave me<br />

With all components in the fault<br />

Have you ever heard me scraping?<br />

It will be hard to hold<br />

<br />

[Chorus]<br />

<br />

[Chorus 2]<br />

<br />

All I hear<br />

Mending the gap<br />

Fall in here<br />

Might not make it back<br />

Call that someone<br />

May they hear you<br />

Take me with you<br />

It's not safe in here<br />

<br />

And all you ask is why, why, why<br />

And all you ask is why I'm certain you're holding on<br />

Mirror floats to the surface<br />

Holding on<br />

<br />

[Chorus 2]<br />

[x2]<br />

<br />

They lost the presence they were holding<br />

Looks like the tenants flickered off<br />

If the cell that holds me breaks me<br />

It will be hard to hold
