Ouroborous Lyrics & Chords By The Mars Volta

It appears to me
Quoting alarms
The guillotine smirks in
Your house I smothered
Sight unseen
Sworn to harm
Ground to a powder
And soaked through the board
Don't you ever, ever, ever trust my mercy?
Don't you ever, ever, ever trust my mercy?
When will you flirt with all that's burning?
Keep the safe and by your side
Of all that's left
A lucid home
Anecdote settles
In the smear of this corpse
If the larvae speaks
Ask where to go
They mount the maker
With a sulphur in fume
Don't you ever, ever, ever trust my mercy?
Don't you ever, ever, ever trust my mercy?
When will you flirt with all that's burning?
Keep the safe and by your side
Of all the warnings that you gave me
With all components in the fault
Have you ever heard me scraping?
It'll be hard to hold
Don't you ever, ever, ever trust my mercy?
Don't you ever, ever, ever trust my mercy?
When will you flirt with all that's burning?
Keep the safe and by your side
Of all the warnings that you gave me
With all components in the fault
Have you ever heard me scraping?
It'll be hard to hold
All I hear
Mending the gap
Fall in here
Might not make it back
Call that someone
May they hear you
Take me with you
It's not safe in here
And all you ask is "Why, why, why?"
And all you ask is why I'm certain you're holding on
Mirror floats to the surface
Holding on
Of all the warnings that you gave me
With all components in the fault
Have you ever heard me scraping?
It'll be hard to hold
Of all the warnings that you gave me
With all components in the fault
Have you ever heard me scraping?
It'll be hard to hold
They lost the presence they were holding
Looks like the tenants flickered off
If the cell that owns me breaks me
It'll be hard to hold.
