"Ilyena" lyrics - THE MARS VOLTA

THE MARS VOLTA
"Ilyena"
(Cedric Bixler-Zavala / Omar Lopez)

[Intro:]
When the chants have cycled
How can I go wrong?
There will be no Eve for Adam
If your apples have gone, gone, gone, gone

I need a brand new skin
Incarnated debts
Incarcerated when
The deeds are left to purchase

[Refrain:]
If you could see where I've been
You'd touch the hand that's touching sin
Entity ingredient
A mass of blackened scapes begins

Cypher is filled
Blanket of clots
Taking everything I've got
Please let me in, in, in, in

I need a brand new skin
Incarnated debts
Incarcerated when
The deeds are left to purchase

[Refrain:]
If you could see where I've been
You'd touch the hand that's touching sin
Entity ingredient
A mass of blackened scapes begins

[Bridge:]
Follow me tonight
Follow me into oblivion
Follow me tonight
Follow me into oblivion

[Refrain:]
If you could see where I've been
You'd touch the hand that's touching sin
Entity ingredient
A mass of blackened scapes begin

I seem to hide in metal plates
Held together, alone, don't wait
Hide with me, identity
Until we've past due date

[Outro:]
Can't spot through the lens
Bleeding through your sanctuary
Intention, accident
Bleeding through your sanctuary

Can't spot through the lens
Bleeding through your sanctuary
Intention, accident
Bleeding through your sanctuary

Can't spot through the lens
Bleeding through your sanctuary
Intention, accident
Bleeding through your sanctuary
