Lyrics

Just as he hit
The ground
They lowered a tow that
Stuck in his neck to the gills
Fragments of sobriquets
riddle me this
three half eaten corneas
who hit the aureole
Stalk the ground
Stalk the ground
You should have seen
The curse that flew right by you
Page of concrete
Stained walks crutch in hobbled sway
Auto-da-fé
A capillary hint of red
Only this manupod
Crescent in shape has escaped
The house half the way
Fell empty with teeth
That split both his lips
Mark these words
One day this chalk outline will circle this city
Was he robbed of the asphalt that cushioned his face
A room colored charlatan
Hid in a safe
Stalk the ground
Stalk the ground
You should have seen
The curse that flew right by you
Page of concrete
Stain walks crutch in hobbled sway
Auto-da-fé
A capillary hint of red
Only this manupod
Crescent in shape has escaped

Pull the pins
Save your grace
Mark these words
On his grave
[x3]

You should have seen
The curse that flew right by you
Page of concrete
Stain walks crutch in hobbled sway
Auto-da-fé
A capillary hint of red
Everyone knows the last toes are
Always the coldest to go

It should be noted that De-loused is a concept album. The entire album's story is based on Julio Venegas, a friend of Cedric's and Omar's, who committed suicide.

Noirtier's choice for this week. Because of a slight miscommunication, Andre already posted his choice, but that will be next week's song.

I will probably listen to this song later today if I can find some time.

Ok, it was a day later, but I just finished listening to the song, and it's quite good. I hadn't heard any songs by the Mars Volta before (I had heard of them), so I didn't know what to expect. I like how the lyrics keep on flowing with slight pauses where you wouldn't expect them. The lyrics are also very poignant, especially considering what you said in the extra info.
