The Mars Volta - Halo of Nembutals Lyrics

When the earth lets you go
When the verdict is vermin
By the fork in my tongue
When you run out of sermon

When sooner or later
Is still not enough
What a foul little temptress
Your daughter's become

Deviate all by means in name
'Cause we all crawl in quicksand the same
Deviate all by means in name
'Cause we all crawl in quicksand the same

The night I begged you to come to me
The limp in your talk and the scent of your bleed
And still I'm not willing to let you go
You covered your wounds in a bandage of sloth
The deeper the slur that rang from her laugh
And something tells me to keep it together
How could you turn your back on me?
I've summoned the stampede of infidel feet
For all I ever wanted is all you ever flaunted

Deviate all by means in name
'Cause we all crawl in quicksand the same
Deviate by all means in name
'Cause we all crawl in quicksand the same

Vanish to fifth dementia
Tables of ring worms have hung themselves
Of this I ate (of this I ate)
Communion shaped
Serpents rays in prisms tail rainbows escaped

They sent in the necrophiliacs
Carcinogen tar turns to smoldering asp
Of this I ate (ate)
Communion shaped (communion shaped)
Serpents rays in prisms tail rainbows escaped

Reading from bottomless palindromes
Hear my request to be disowned
Of this I ate (ate)
Communion shaped (communion shaped)
Serpents rays in prisms tail rainbows escaped

Deviate all by means in name
'Cause we all crawl in quicksand the same
Deviate by all means in name
'Cause we all crawl in quicksand the same
