Amputechture. The Mars Volta.




1. A vicarious atonement.

Don't you pretend that I’m not alive, my bones never ache unless she's nearby, where is your face, in a safe of dead tongues, I can see your reflection in your totem first born. I suspect you've been carrying a pack of wolves, I regret not killing you while I had the chance.

Maybe I will always haunt you, mark the somnolence with truth, better hang your dead palace than have a living home to lose in the river Ganges, god damns my name.

Don't let these hands sharpen your eyes, a rasp of tails, don't let these hands sharpen your eyes, a rasp of tails…


2. Tetragrammaton.

Tell me it's over, rusbel awaits, I’ve been to the surface and nothing is there, eyelids sank muffled in the nerve aura sound but when she awakes, will she still be with us? My heart is darkclots, leap year is late, how did you get here, ask all but the bait, from a christ that went hissing constricting his cells, we summon by candle by book and by bell.

Glossolalia coats my skin, glycerin and turbulence, stuffed the voice inside of god, mirrors to the animals, glossolalia coats my skin, glycerin and turbulence.

The sermon goes mourning, pricking it's hail, slothful the child that preys on the seed, shall behead the drough, wound under sleeves, I hope you have room in a thicket of vines. Give me a moment to clean what you've stole, the streets will hang high, stretch ribs and let taste, we'll cover the smell with silver nitrate mending the cuts of your prosthetic faith.

Glossolalia coats my skin, glycerin and turbulence, stuffed the voice inside of god, mirrors to the animals, glossolalia coats my skin, glycerin and turbulence, stuffed the voice inside of god, mirrors to the animals.

Then so long, dear mnemonic, assume the form you've given me and I'll spill, now hold on, just hold my hand, say that they made you but you brought your own leash, tell me no more, no, say I’m the last one.

Outside by the drift you read my will of thread and itch, failure to comply as failure to decease, and still you won't know everything, I’ve built the fall.

Sulking drained the fall of my pale will swarming by your steps, licking the ankles of blasphemer guilts, it only meant to drape a plastic over the stuck pig scalp of head, to cover the sock where the flatline had spread, the kiosk in my temporal lobe is shaped like Rosalyn Carter, she says my map is home again but torn face down, I have only but a million blemishes to tell you all about, in the end they just gagged me to make him come out.

Gas me the hind of your five legged snare, tooth picks the eye but no things there, down drags your waltz cross the alter top from a sleep that depravation knew, trespass your form, I'm void of dusk, I'd ask to look but the mask stays on, you'll levitate, teutonic print, cruelty is the wrath of my instrument. In the end they just gagged me to make him come out.

You locked the cuffs, arsenic erupts, will you drink the shadow of my red hair, you and your false witness to god, you've one in the chamber but your finger got stuck, let slip the sound of a cry for help but all was lost on the night you walked, palms speak through eyes, serve your memory lost, I contaminate with insignias. In the end they just gagged me to make him come out, glossolalia coats my skin, glycerin and turbulence, stuffed the voice inside of god, mirrors to the animals. Wait till it get my hands on you, I won't forget a face that left me, just you wait till I get my hands on you, I can't, you won't remember…

Unwrap my corpse and let it thaw in the eye of the needle, I can't get out, they'll check my wrist, I'll faint a pulse, I'm not the human you thought I was, if you pet the night, sixth pentacle dice, if you roll the seven St. Michael dies, they'll be no ransom, don't shut my mouth, I scald the answer you're afraid of.


3. Vermicide.

There with them is error, we are sacrosanct, a taunting of ravens to you, my swarms have fit the holster, my faith burnt every house, like no other manger I am emptier with doubt. Bare them, seven, three to a pall, marks the venom, lush and terminal, bare them, seven, three to a pall, marks the venom, lush and terminal.

When I became your larvae you fed me from your plates, now my slouch is nervous sinking by the face, wrinkled by this gravel, skinless trace of time, wear your cobwebs proudly in your cheap and brittle sight, my glands emit this carnage, these pews bend back your knees, that uniform it wears you when the ultimatum pleads. Bare them, seven, three to a pall, marks the venom, lush and terminal, bare them, seven, three to a pall, marks the venom, lush and terminal.

That cesspool, it becomes you just north of the eyebrows, squat the hole for a pucker when the rations go blonde, the salted stitch is patient waiting to engulf, there is plasma from this hoax pretending to be us. Embalming all the fluids, I must, I must, I prefer to burn it, I must, I must, embalming all the fluids, I must, I must, I prefer to burn it, I must, I must.

Bare them, seven, three to a pall, marks the venom, lush and terminal, bare them, seven, three to a pall, marks the venom, lush and terminal.


4. Meccamputechture.

Amputechture came, philistine praise, bottomless pit of empty names, incarcerated habit tore from the palms, severing the breast, melting on his arms.

Beneath those locks of dirty red hair a necklace of follicles with sabertooth monocles, they want a bouquet of black rose gems, castrating kisses stalactite stems, they went and built a capsule in the cyanide one where the holiest of water would have you to drown, tomorrow is a gift ‘cause now is never left, you gotta find my body in the Mecca context.

You give me a corpse, you live in it now, you’re staring from unkempt nourishment plows, you give me a corpse, you live in it now, you’re staring from unkempt nourishment plows. Please dismantle all this phantom limbs, it’s the evidence of humans as ornaments, humans as ornaments, humans as ornaments, humans as ornaments. Everyone stares all the time, persuasion deflowers your sympathy, everybody’s choosing to hold these shovels and burying me.

This stir is turning Christ to make repent again, so I’ve heard they’re cutting all the youngest ones, said this dirt is turning Christ to make repent his lust, so I’ve heard that the puppets tugs its pull. Please dismantle all this phantom limbs, it’s the evidence of humans as ornaments, humans as ornaments, humans as ornaments, humans as ornaments. Everyone stares all the time, persuasion deflowers your sympathy, everybody’s choosing to hold these shovels and burying me.

Now for meat, the pin slipped whispers of both of our heaps, swept to an earth of Magdalen’s frowns, prune fingers who tug at a zealot’s shroud, I obsconse supreme truth as it touches this house, I obsconse supreme truth, truth … Please dismantle all these phantom limbs, it’s the evidence of humans as ornaments, humans as ornaments, humans as ornaments, humans as ornaments. I obsconse supreme truth as it touches this house, I obsconse supreme truth as it touches this house.

Everyone stares all the time, persuasion deflowers your sympathy, everybody’s choosing to hold these shovels and bury, everyone stares all the time, persuasion deflowers your sympathy, everybody’s choosing to hold these shovels and burying.

It lacks a human corpse, it lacks a human corpse, it lacks a human corpse, it lacks a human corpse, it lacks a human corpse, it lacks a human corpse, it lacks a human corpse, don’t know for sure now, it lacks a human corpse, don’t know for sure now, it lacks a human corpse.


5. Asilos Magdalena.

Enfermo llegué y para componerme ando de vago, no me des tu obediencia porque te enseño mi cuerpo de lobo, a donde la piel estuvo débil con un hambre que no me deja cantar. En mi vida el oscuro me mantiene, cuando yo te vi en la lluvia me prometiste tu sangre, yo no me quedo, en mi vida el oscuro me mantiene, cuando yo te vi en la lluvia me prometiste tu sangre, yo no me quedo.

Y ya que caiste de este mundo, cargo una navaja, dios mío, para ti, cuántas veces me mordiste y cuantas veces yo me fui, y ya no me estoy enamorado con tus mentiras, el infierno me duermo porque el infierno es la única verdad. En mi vida el oscuro me mantiene, cuando yo te vi en la lluvia me prometiste tu sangre, yo no me quedo, en mi vida el oscuro me mantiene, cuando yo te vi en la lluvia me prometiste tu sangre, yo no me quedo.

Estrella de la mañana, Ismael, te persigo a ti, y si me quedo sin alas además me muero por ti, estrella de la mañana, Ismael, te persigo a ti, y si me quedo sin alas además me muero por ti.

Estrella de la mañana, Ismael, te persigo a ti, y si me quedo sin alas además me muero por ti, estrella de la mañana, Ismael, te persigo a ti, y si me quedo sin alas además me muero por ti, estrella de la mañana, Ismael, te persigo a ti, y si me quedo sin alas además me muero por ti.


6. Viscera eyes.

Por cuando te vi enfermo con mentiras, este ladrón cuenta se dio, trapa mal hecho de trampas te lo juro que casi te mato, y con cada día que se pase recuérdate quien era el más poderoso.

Don't let me, don't let me go, there is a venom in numerical eyes, your convalescent thorns, upon a crown of maggots, your father shakes inside that third glass eye, come on and give it to me, come on and die. In your viscera eyes cut the lights, close the blinds, lend me your comfort, come cry by your side.

Ay, mi hijo, no me llores porque te quito de esta cruz, y agáchate, ve caminado sin la alma de tu cuerpo en los brazos sin luz. They scalp our children by seven, the border we're watching, where the other three now hide, the culprits can't be seen from a premium of glass, we shudder in this sigil then you carpe diem-tize.

Don't let me, don't let me go, there is a venom in numerical eyes, your convalescent thorns upon a crown of maggots, verucca shakes inside that third glass eye, come on and give it to me, come on and die. In your viscera eyes cut the lights, close the blinds, lend me your comfort, come cry by your side.

In your viscera eyes cut the lights, close the blinds, lend me your comfort, come cry by your side.

Wait, I've seen the ark shake from your pneumonic tongue but the braile that you weave of itself it shall read aloud, yes it will, I said, she's falling, she's still falling but no one wants to come, she's crawling, she's still crawling on your burial ground, said, she's falling, she's still falling but no one wants to come, I said, she's crawling, she's still crawling on your burial.


7. Day of the baphomets.

Sawing off the pavement, repeating their past lives, might I be the only payment left to be left behind, clay and pigment footsteps, rust it boiling clean, our bull let in linguistics that only we can breathe.

I gotta prayer that'll make you theirs now beneath sepulchers, raise your entrails as an offer, I gotta prayer that'll make you theirs now beneath sepulchers, raise your entrails as an offer. Fondling with pitchforks in a cattle prodded sea, signaling the sedatives to emaciate their queen, bowing in constriction anytime you leave, we snuffed ourselves an angel and cut her by the wings

I gotta prayer that'll make you theirs now beneath sepulchers, raise your entrails as an offer, I gotta prayer that'll make you theirs now beneath sepulchers, raise your entrails as an offer. In my sight I was born to bring death at the footsteps of your home, tonight I have sewn all the hair and crooked nails that you all have worn, while your wife sits at home I plant the vermin because she needs it so.

How long must we fold by hand, the nuns are burning wheels again, dent of mattress to make it bare, come clean with the anecdote, after all we came undone, pale of sluts with host at fault, one day we won't pay your debt, our centipedes will get theirs yet. Poachers in your home, poachers in your home, poachers in your home, poachers in your home.

How long must we fold by hand, the nuns are burning wheels again, dent of mattress to make it bare, come clean with the anecdote, after all we came undone, pale of sluts with host at fault, one day we won't pay your debt, our centipedes will get theirs yet. How long must we fold by hand, the nuns are burning wheels again, dent of mattress to make it bare, come clean with the anecdote, after all we came undone, pale of sluts with host at fault, one day we won't pay your debt, our centipedes will get theirs yet.

Fold the river by the lips as a cruel and smothered wind, fits the gash with ornaments, dawn is nodding off again, raised the braille to read it clear, gathered by the cholera, rinse the burns in cauldrons, help the palm we see a lens. My hands secrete a monument, my hands secrete a monument, my hands secrete a monument, my hands secrete a monument, my hands secrete a monument, my hands secrete a monument, my hands secrete a monument, my hands secrete a monument.

I am the reason for your missing child, they might be home but there's no trace, under your pillow I have left a spine, oh the things we do when you're away, I saw the message that you wrote in the sand, dismembered hints that carve away, the anesthetic of your gospel said put a muzzle on the lamb, put a muzzle on the lamb. Give me one page, give me one page, make it blank, mace that I leak will rain, give me one page, give me one page, make it blank, race I inflict, your way. Maybe one day you'll stop and realize the throne that you serve is dead, give me a plague, give me a plague, make it blank, nothing you own is safe.

How long must we fold by hand, the nuns are burning wheels again, dent of mattress to make it bare, come clean with the anecdote, after all we came undone, pale of sluts with host at fault, one day we won't pay your debt, our centipedes will get theirs yet.

How long must we fold by hand, the nuns are burning wheels again, dent of mattress to make it bare, come clean with the anecdote, after all we came undone, pale of sluts with host at fault, one day we won't pay your debt, our centipedes will get theirs yet. Poachers in your home, poachers in your home, poachers in your home, poachers in your home.


8. 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, somoene has found flourescent 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 spilled, bare the children at play.
