Mars Volta - Ouroborous lyrics

rate me

It appears to me

Quoting alarms

The guillotine smirks

In your house I smothered

Sight unseen

Sworn to harm

Ground to a powder

And soaked through the board

Don't you ever, ever, ever trust my mercy

Don't you ever, ever, ever trust my mercy

When will you flirt with all that's burning?

Keep them safe and by your side

Of all that's left

A lucid home

Anecdote settles in the smear of this corpse

If the larvae speaks ask where to go

They mount the maker with a sulphur in fume

Of all the warnings that you gave me

With all components in the fault

Have you ever heard me scraping?

It will be hard to hold

All I hear

Mending the gap

Fall in here

Might not make it back

Call that someone

May they hear you

Take me with you

It's not safe in here

And all you ask is why, why, why

And all you ask is why I'm certain you're holding on

Mirror floats to the surface

Holding on

They lost the presence they were holding

Looks like the tenants flickered off

If the cell that holds me breaks me

It will be hard to hold
