The Mars Volta - The Widow Lyrics

He's got fasting black lungs
Made of clove splintered shards
They're the kind that will talk
Through a wheezing of coughs

And I hear him
Every night
In every pore
And every time
He just makes me warm

Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame

Must I hide?
'Cause I'll never
Never sleep alone

Look at how they flock to him
From an isle of open sores
He knows that the taste is such
Such to die for

And I hear him
Every night
On every street
The scales that do slither
Deliver me from

Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame

Then I'll hide
'Cause I'll never
Never sleep alone

Oh, Lord
Said I'm, said I'm
Said I'm, said I'm bloodshot for sure
Pale runs the ghost
Said I'm
Swollen on the shore
Swollen on the shore

Every night
In every pore
The scales that do slither
Deliver me from

Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Then I'll hide
'Cause I'll never
Never sleep alone

Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Let me die
'Cause I'll never
Never sleep alone
