Conjugal Burns - The Mars Volta

The horseman you have brought deserve me

Somehow they’ve made it through the floor

The clocks you set, are they reversing?

Before this visit turns conjugal evermore

Maybe tonight, oh…

So my half is waiting, filed to a pulp

Used insomnia’s been cleansing with floods

I got a pain inside that’ll rip through the very fabric of time

Cause I’ve been with you before God gave me sin

I’ve got to get born

Just so you know…

There’s too many reasons, too many reasons

Too many reasons, too many reasons

Too many rea-

You set the silver down to guard me from the weak

You check the spelling for nothing, nothing

You set the silver down to guard me from the weak

You check the spelling for nothing, nothing

You sent yourself the flood

All of this time

Bedsore containment

Where am I now

That the music has faded?

All of this time

Bedsore containment

Where am I now

That the music has faded?

And I’m nowhere near the place

You sent me here to breathe

But I’m drawing closer to the present

And I’ll find a space with no memories

I’ve got a second chance to inhabit the living

If Goliath won’t speak

I’m blinded by heaven

When will your Eden come die?

If the liars that blink

Are bound by the sender

Trinkets you gave have all rusted down

All of this time

Bedsore containment

Where am I now

That the music has faded?

All of this time

Bedsore containment

Where am I now

That the music has faded?

You better steal this chance to give birth to more

You’ll wear those healing damns down to the plug

All of this time

Bedsore containment

Where am I now

That the music has faded?

All of this time

Bedsore containment

Where am I now

That the music has faded?

You better steal this chance to give birth to more

You’ll wear those healing damns down to the plug
