Desperate Graves - The Mars Volta
With qualms that I speak
of the wrists I have cut
By flooding the tubs
where the warmth held below
The lockets believe
that the secret of love
Has caught its own tail
and it just wont give up
When I breathe
the heavens cant hold me
And I cant believe anymore
The light breathes
the highest execution
Show me the wings I must cut
In your left of days
these are desperate graves
Give me the alter
let me shine
The pendulum wont wait
Give me the alter
let me shine
The pendulum wont wait
If I slay your spirits
with twin covent vaults
That weakened your knees
in the pit of my palms
Dressed in the slurs
of bovine engines
To feast upon the carcass
of your mother
When I breathe
the heavens cant hold me
And I cant believe anymore
The light breathes
the highest execution
Show me the wings I must cut
In your left of days
these are desperate graves
Give me the alter
let me shine
The pendulum wont wait
Give me the alter
let me shine
The pendulum wont wait
When I turn the dial
and leave the gas on
Im the matchstick
that youll never lose
These are the splinters
made from a single blade
Im the matchstick
that youll never lose
Ill light the king
that locks you in
Im the matchstick
that youll never lose
When you wear the burning
of all my ferns
Im the matchstick
that youll never lose
In your left of days
these are desperate graves
Give me the alter
let me shine
The pendulum wont wait
Give me the alter
let me shine
The pendulum wont wait
Give me the alter
let me shine
The pendulum wont wait
Give me the alter
let me shine
The pendulum wont wait
