the mars volta - imago lyrics
imago
my anguish told you
a persistent lie
the parasitic psychics that you push by wheel
were spoken to me everytime
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 out of reaches
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
