Lyrics Halo of Nembutals - The Mars Volta

Halo of Nembutals

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 by all 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 by all 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
Vanished to 5th dementia
Cables of ringworms have hung themselves
Of this I ate, communion shaped
Serpent rays in prism tail rainbows escape
They sent in the necrophiliacs
Carcinogen tar turns to smoldering asp
Of this I ate, communion shaped
Serpent rays in prism tail rainbows escape
Read it from bottomless palindromes
Hear my request to be disowned
Of this I ate, communion shaped
Serpent rays in prism tail rainbows escape
Deviate by all 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
