The Mars Volta Cassandra Geminni Lyrics

[I: Tarantism]

I think I've become one of the others
I think I've become one of the others
I think I've become one of the others

There was a frail syrup dripping off his lap-danced lapel
Punctuated by her decrepit prowl, she washed down the hatching gizzard
Soft as a mane of needles, his orifice icicles
Hemorrhaged by combing her torso to a pile
Perspired, the trophy shelves made room for his collapse
She was a mink handjob in sarcophagus heels...

Bring me to my knees, read the sharpened lines
All my arms bled me blind
Faucet leaks in shadows, spilling from
Morgue lancet caressed your fontanelle
I've sworn to kill
Every last one, every last one
Panic in the shakes of the wounded, panic in the worms
Onto the floor and out of your mouth, out of your eyelids

No, there's no light
In the darkest of your furthest reaches
No, there's no light
In the darkest of your furthest reaches

All your dreams splintered off
Leech by leech on this catafalque
Anyone will tell you, yes, anyone
Chance had me setting a trip wire alarm
Your mother flirted with disease
When she skinned that costume by its navel strings
Panic in the shakes of the wounded, panic in the worms
Onto the floor and out of your mouth, out of your eyelids

Shockless shackles free you
Fools taste tongues
I better leave you again
I won't be owned, not this time

Shock lest shackles free you
Volt face cons
Abandon you again
I won't feel, not this time

Brick by brick, the night eclipsed
p____ed by cuticle thorns
Dried the sleep on nursery slits
Into this life I'm born

Heaven's just a scab away
I'd like to see you after just one taste

Sink your teeth into the flesh of midnight
Night forevermore
Let them see it has begun
The others I've become

If you should see the dice
Charmed with its snake-choked eyes
You'll wear the widow's weeds
Because they're just your size

Behind the snail secretion
Leaves a dry heave that absorbs
A limbless procreation
Let the infant crawl, deformed

A bag replace the breath
Of these suffocating sheets
And now when the craving calls
I'll scratch my itchy teeth

And soon...
Come on if you don't know
Come on if you don't know
Come on if you don't know

Sink your teeth into the flesh of midnight
Night forevermore
Sink your teeth into the flesh of midnight
Night forevermore

She fell for the whispers
Sister flooded deaf tears
That night tore a river
In her barren womb mirror

And his multiple sons
With their mandible tongues
Set crucified fires
To petrified homes

I wanna, wanna, wanna let it burn
I wanna, wanna, wanna let it burn...

And the owls, they were watching
And the owls didn't care
Then the owls came a-knocking
Placentas in their stares

They will feed on all the carnage
Left over from the flood
And in the corner of their eyes
Fled sister L'Via
Sister L'Via...

Now the pieces went floating
Reflecting all at dusk
Conceived from the stabbing
Was Vismund Cygnus

Twenty-five wives in the lake tonight
Twenty-five wives in the lake tonight
Twenty-five wives in the lake tonight
Twenty-five wives in the lake tonight
Twenty-five wives in the lake tonight
Twenty-five wives in the lake tonight...

[II: Plant a Nail in the Navel Stream]

Twenty-five wives in the lake tonight
Raw bark in the water of the marble shrine
Twenty-five snakes pour out your eyes
Yeah, the icepicks c__ming on the marble shrine

Twenty-five wives in the lake tonight
Raw bark in the water of the marble shrine
Twenty-five snakes pour out your eyes
Yeah the icepicks c__ming, c__ming tonight

Twenty-five wives in the lake tonight
Raw bark in the water of the marble shrine
Twenty-five snakes pour out your eyes
Yeah, the icepicks c__ming on the marble shrine

Twenty-five wives in the lake tonight
Raw bark in the water of the marble shrine
Twenty-five snakes pour out your eyes
Yeah the icepicks c__ming, c__ming tonight...

Twenty-five snakes are drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning...

You can't bend your crooked arms
Or fold your punctured proof
The air is growing cold, cold, cold, cold, cold
And there's nothing you can do

Soon there'll be no gauze
Inside the confessional
Only rows of crows
Defrocking every breath, breath, breath, breath, breath, breath

And one day you'll remember
Behind the melting cones
I said one day you'll remember
Behind the melting cones

You've always had a family
In the burial of your home
In the burial of your home
Of your home...

Night forevermore
Night forevermore
Night forevermore
Night forevermore
Night forevermore

And I peel back all of my skin
Peel it back, let it all run
And I peel back all of my skin
Peel it back, let it all run
Peel back all of my skin...

[IV: Multiple Spouse Wounds]

Brick by brick, the night eclipsed
p____ed by cuticle thorns
Dried the sleep on nursery slits
Into this life I'm born

Heaven's just a scab away
I'd like to see you after just one taste

Sink your teeth into the flesh of midnight
Night forevermore
Let them see it has begun
The others I've become

No, there's no light
In the darkest of your furthest reaches
No, there's no light
In the darkest of your furthest reaches
No, there's no light
In the darkest of your furthest reaches
No, there's no light
In the darkest of your furthest reaches
No, there's no light (No, there's no light, no, there's no time)
In the darkest of your furthest reaches (You ain't got nothing, your life was just a lie)
No, there's no light (No, there's no light, no, there's no time)
In the darkest of your furthest reaches (You ain't got nothing, your life was just a lie)

[V: Sarcophagi (Reprise)]

The ocean floor is hidden from your viewing lens
A depth perception languished in the night
All my life I've been sewing the wounds
But the seeds sprout a lachrymal cloud
