Agadez - The Mars Volta

I shoulda known you’d always scratch that itch

When you asked me for safe passage on my shoulders where we slid

And just before you laid dead weight upon its shores

I stung you in the face for that’s the nature of my core

Because I got distance, don’t let it close

Gotta let me know, you’ve just gotta let me know

Because forget which way is out now

Gotta let me know, you’ve just gotta let me know

I’m nowhere near this place you wear

It’s unforgivable, it knows that I am visible

I’m broken mirrors and useless prayer

This lock is healing me, ya know you come so willingly

Waiting is a vessel that will take me to Love it knows no order when you taste the truth

Because I’m trapped in this cement husk

Gotta let me go, you’ve just gotta let me go Because I paid with my own touch now

I brought a little cut, there is blood for every month

In the way you used to call her wicked answers

Time is a plague, there’s no time in this place

If ya don’t, if you don’t let me go Heaven’s made a cesspool of us all

There burns a kiss with serpent scales

There is no miracle

I lost your miracle

I’m nowhere near this place you wear

It’s unforgivable, it knows that I am visible

I’m…

I wrap myself around your buried question

Through the blisters of confinement

I seek to drain this broken shelter

To refill the pigment case that I have left

Don’t stay long for teeth nurse the first wound

Coats revolve, hope to gain

What if we find what tongue ties double windsor?

Invoke to no reply

Those that lie have froze at the border

No implies close the frame

What if we find the sunlight draws a curtain?

Invoke to no reply

There’s a place where this depth charge ignites

In this place where the soul has no purpose

I can’t believe you when your thirst won’t let me go

I am the moment you were always speaking of because there’s…

No fence will hold the sentient

Culprit fall about it Say when I can enter them

Culprit fall about it One fell, the other taste won’t lie

Make no doubt about it How many blame, how many cave into the pressure I apply?
