The Mars Volta - Imago lyrics
[The Mars Volta - Imago lyrics]
My anguish told you a persistent lie
The parasitic psychics that you push by wheel
Were spoken to me every time
And like a charlatan
You counterfeit the vessels through
Flesh and time these pacts we keep in secret
Drinking from a well that
Was cured by drought
My torment adores you
When my strings are tied
Out of compulsion I must decimate
The sapless embryonic miles
And like a charlatan
You counterfeit the vessels through
Flesh and time these pacts we keep in secret
Drinking from a well that
Was cured by drought
My knives are burrowed voices
Glistened by the handles so they won't let go
These limbs are idle creatures
Extensions of a spirit that is not controlled
My heart is trapped inside
And I refuse to accept this throne
My night's unfolding
Reads like a page of test results
This sterile codex
Is missing all my last resolve
And like a charlatan
You counterfeit the vessels through
Flesh and time these pacts we keep in secret
Drinking from a well that
Was cured by drought and like a charlatan
You counterfeit the vessels through
Flesh and time these pacts we keep in secret
Drinking from a well that
Was cured by drought
The parasitic psychics that you push by wheel
Were spoken to me every time
And like a charlatan
You counterfeit the vessels through
Flesh and time these pacts we keep in secret
Drinking from a well that
Was cured by drought
My torment adores you
When my strings are tied
Out of compulsion I must decimate
The sapless embryonic miles
And like a charlatan
You counterfeit the vessels through
Flesh and time these pacts we keep in secret
Drinking from a well that
Was cured by drought
My knives are burrowed voices
Glistened by the handles so they won't let go
These limbs are idle creatures
Extensions of a spirit that is not controlled
My heart is trapped inside
And I refuse to accept this throne
My night's unfolding
Reads like a page of test results
This sterile codex
Is missing all my last resolve
And like a charlatan
You counterfeit the vessels through
Flesh and time these pacts we keep in secret
Drinking from a well that
Was cured by drought and like a charlatan
You counterfeit the vessels through
Flesh and time these pacts we keep in secret
Drinking from a well that
Was cured by drought
