THE MARS VOLTA LYRICS - Cassandra Gemini

"Cassandra Gemini"



[a. TARANTISM]



You can't bend your crooked arms or fold your punctured proof

The air is growing cold and there's nothing you can do

Soon there'll be no gauze, inside the confessional

Only rows of crows, defrocking every breath



And one day you'll remember

Behind the melting cones,

I said, one day you'll remember

Behind the melting cones,

You always had a family

In the burial of your home.

In the burial of your home.



Night forever more

Night forever more

Night forever more

Night forever more

Night forever more



And I'll peel back all of my skin

I'll peel back and let it all run

Peel back all of my skin

Peel back and let it all run

Peel back all of my skin



[b. PLANT A NAIL IN THE NAVEL STREAM]



[Instrumental]



[c. FAMINEPULSE]



Brick by brick, the night eclipsed

Pricked by the cuticle thorns,

Dried the sleep on nursery slits

Into this life I'm born

Havens just a scab away,

I'd like to see you after just one taste



Sink your teeth into the flesh of midnight

Night forever more,

Let them see it has begun

The others I've become



[d. MULTIPLE SPOUSE WOUNDS]



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 time

You ain't got nothing, your life was just a lie.

No there's no light, no there's no time

You ain't got nothing, your life was just a lie.



[e. SARCOPHAGI]



The ocean floor is hidden from your viewing lens

A depth perception languished in the night

All my life, I've been sowing the wounds

But the seeds sprout a lachrymal cloud
