Drunkship of Lanterns - The Mars Volta

This night will fall like any other Daylight subsides and shadows crawl Out from under black corners Hiding something stars All so restless Cracked windows open wide Dead-bolt turns, doors creak open Whispers and moonlight there to guide Come raise your lantern to the sky Can we illuminate this night? We'll dance like heathens round a flame While the world sleeps we are awake The black brook calls, it sings a chorus While the gathering swells The flames grow tall right before us As drums keep pounding And the masses now are fusing Bodies pressed and tangled As we revel in confusion Our inhibitions thrown into the fire Come raise your lantern to the sky Can we illuminate this night? We'll dance like heathens round a flame While the world sleeps we are awake Here in the dark we are safe from the judgment Now arm in arm locked tight so no one gets in The hell is sent, see, child, you are hellbent But hell is not where we're going, hell is where we've been Come raise your lantern to the sky And let's illuminate this night We'll dance like heathens around the flame And while the world sleeps we are awake Raise your lantern to the sky And let's illuminate this night We'll dance like heathens around the flames While the world sleeps we are awake (Raise your lantern to the sky) Yeah, we are awake (Hey, hey, hey) We are awake (Now raise your lantern to the sky) We are awake, yeah, we are awake, we are awake

I know the way he makes you hide Even when the dose is fight or flight And the orbits wait for a perfect name Clean out the webs he left behind And if you want, I can bury him out By the salt of sea, in an empty grave The past has a way of comin' clean If I didn't know any better I could have sworn you said "There will come a day for his reckoning" It's the want of the weight, when it crushed All the centrifugal ways our lives fall in and out of place One day, you're gonna see That everybody who claimed that you were loved have left Because one by one, they would disappear Claimin' all your wolves were symptoms of deceit "Don't let your tongue slit your throat" That's what they always said This one last chance that you've gotta take It's the want of the weight when it crushed All the centrifugal ways our lives fall in and out of place No-oh, it's the want and the weight when it crushed All the centrifugal ways our lives fall in and out of place Underneath your doubt laid a serpent's egg Hissing his way out You were told (you were told) Severed tongues (severed tongues) Can't fall onto their swords, because You're the only voice that calls It's the want and the weight when it crushed All the centrifugal ways our lives fall in and out of place Oh-oh, it's the want and the weight when it crushed All the centrifugal ways our lives fall in and out of place I'll be with you Say you will, say you will, say you will I'll be with you, I'll be with you Say you will, say you will

Tell me it's over Rusbel awaits I've been to the surface And nothing is there Eyelids sank muffled In the nerve aura sound But when she awakes Will she still be with us My heart is darkclots Leap year is late How did you get here Ask all but the bait From a Christ that went hissing Constricting his cells We summon by candle by book and by bell Glossolalia coats my skin Glycerin and turbulence Stuffed the voice inside of God Mirrors to the animals Glossolalia coats my skin Glycerin and turbulence The sermon goes mourning Pricking its hail Slothful the child That preys on the seed Shall behead the drought Wound under sleeves I hope you have room In a thicket of vines Give me a moment To claim what you've stole The streets will hang high Stretched ribs and let taste We'll cover the smell with silver nitrate Mending the cuts of your prosthetic faith Glossolalia coats my skin Glycerin and turbulence Stuffed the voice inside of God Mirrors to the animals Glossolalia coats my skin Glycerin and turbulence Stuffed the voice inside of God Mirrors to the animals Then so long Dear mnemonic Assume the form You've given me and I'll spill Now hold on Just hold my hand Say that they made you But you brought your own leash Tell me no more, no, Say I'm the last one Outside By the drift You read my will Of thread and itch Failure to comply As failure to decease And still you won't know everything I've built the fall Sulking drained the fall of my pale will Swarming by your steps Licking the ankles of blasphemer guilts It only meant to drape a plastic Over the stuck pig scalp of head To cover the sock where the flatline had spread The kiosk in my temporal lobe Is shaped like Rosalyn Carter She says my map is home again But torn face down I have only but a million blemishes To tell you all about In the end they just gagged me To make him come out Gas me the hind Of your five legged snare Tooth picks the eye But nothing is there Down drags your waltz Cross the altar top From a sleep that Deprivation knew Trespass your form I'm void of dusk I'd ask to look But the mask stays on You'll levitate Teutonic print Cruelty is the wrath Of my instrument In the end they just gagged me To make him come out You locked the cuffs Arsenic erupts Will you drink the shadow Of my red hair You and your false Witness to God You've one in the chamber But your finger got stuck Let slip the sound Of a cry for help But all was lost On the night you walked Palms speak through eyes Serve your memory lost I contaminate with insignias In the end they just gagged me To make him come out Glossolalia coats my skin Glycerin and turbulence Stuffed the voice inside of God Mirrors to the animals Wait till I get my hands on you I won't forgive a face that lift me Just you wait Till I get my hands on you I can't You won't remember (...) Unwrap my corpse And let it thaw In the eye of the needle I can't get out They'll check my wrist I'll fake a pulse I'm not the human You thought I was If you pet the night Sixth pentacle dice If you role the seven St. Michael dies They'll be no ransom Don't shut my mouth I scald the answer You're afraid of

Save me from myself I hope you found a way (Hope you found a way) Hope you found a way to make it all better Maybe tonight What's it gonna take for you to heal? Hold on Pincushion doubt, let the fields burn away If the walls you build come tumbling, tumbling down And the love you fail to comfort comes back round At last, I've found my moment to fall apart I can take a little loss But you've held it inside you For too long I'll never let you go Let's make your incision And brave the lightning If the walls they build come tumbling, tumbling down And the love you fail to comfort comes back 'round At last, I've found my moment to fall apart To fall apart (I'm falling apart) Stuck inside the loop Was he the only window? (Falling apart) Tell me when you left Did he follow outside? (I'm falling apart) Could he buy the world Just to sleep them from your truth Take your incision, make it believe The stapling of five hundred tremblin' lips Burn it all down, down to the heel Level it all 'til it's gone If the walls they build come tumbling, tumbling down And the love you fail to comfort comes back 'round At last, I've found my moment to fall apart If the walls you build come tumbling, tumbling down And the love surrenders to us all At last, I'll find my moment to fall apart To fall apart
