Lyrics In Absentia - The Mars Volta

In Absentia

There was once a boy
With knives stuck in his voice
All he wanted, all he wanted was a little affection
Until one day he caved
Into his mother’s taste
All she wanted, all she wanted was to spread her infection
He spins her spindle weaving fuse
Burning fumes of lucid youth to mend
Her broken flesh
They’ve stolen all my love
Buried in absentia rose
Can you hear my vitreous heart
Breaking in absentia rose
Smokestack burning
Eidolon turning
I won’t ever let you go
They’ve stolen all my love
Yes, they’ve stolen all my love
He brings her the bait
She makes him her pet
Does he want some
Does he want a little insurrection?
With oneiric gaze
In somatic days
Ocular incision tell me I’m the reason
I’ve just gotta get out of here
He spins her spindle weaving fuse
Burning fumes of lucid youth to mend
Her useless flesh
They’ve stolen all my love
Buried in absentia rose
Can you hear my vitreous heart
Breaking in absentia rose
Smokestack burning
Eidolon turning
I won’t ever let you go
They’ve stolen all my love
Yes, they’ve stolen all my love
Taken by the night
Divagate remembrance
Check the puzzle, does it fit?
I am alpha and omega
And on the seventh day I rise
Past the pangs of my resistance
When the son gives up his throne
What becomes of this theft
Dasehra, make these shackles go away
Dasehra, make these shackles go away
Dasehra, won’t you help me stand my ground if I should fall
Dasehra, as long as I am injured
Dasehra as long as I remember
Dasehra, as long as I am injured
Dasehra, as long as I remember
Dasehra, as long as I am injured
Dasehra, as long as I remember
Dasehra, as long as I am injured
