Imago Lyrics - Noctourniquet - Mars Volta

My anguish told you 

A persistent lie 

The parasitic psychics that you push by wheel 

Were spoken to me everytime 

And like a charlatan 

You counterfeit the vessels through flesh and time 

These pacts we keep in secret 

Drinking from a well that was cured by drought 

My torment adores you 

When my strings are tied 

Out of compulsion I must decimate 

The sapless embryonic miles 

And like a charlatan 

You counterfeit the vessels through flesh and time 

These pacts we keep in secret 

Drinking from a well that was cured by drought 

My knives are burrowed voices 

Glistened by the handles so they won't let go 

These limbs are out of reaches 

Extensions of a spirit that is not controlled 

My heart is trapped inside 

And I refuse to accept this throne 

My night's unfolding 

Reads like a page of test results 

This sterile codex 

Is missing all my last resolve 

And like a charlatan 

You counterfeit the vessels through flesh and time 

These pacts we keep in secret 

Drinking from a well that was cured by drought
