"El Ciervo Vulnerado" lyrics - THE MARS VOLTA

THE MARS VOLTA
"El Ciervo Vulnerado"
(Cedric Bixler-Zavala / Omar Rodriguez-Lopez / The Mars Volta)

I've been drinking black myrrh 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

[Chorus:]
If you consume me I will not let you go
If you walk right through me
My voice will taint your throat
Blessed be, blessed be the wrong I've done

Someone is watching us
Someone has found
Fluorescent ligaments
On a black and white tile
Why do you call them
If your kingdom won't come
The younger I stay
Forever I rot

[Chorus:]
If you consume me I will not let you go
If you walk right through me
My voice will taint your throat
Blessed be, blessed be the wrong I've done

[Outro:]
Because the flies my mouth spill
Bare the children at play
