Cavalettas The Mars Volta

[Verse 1]
A salty ring of night fatigue
When I get, get, get the sweats from you listenin'
Primordial cymatics givin' birth into reverse
Serrated mare ephemera undo her mother's curse

[Refrain 1]
So if you break me a mirror
Hang the broken pieces of a place that isn't real
So if you don't hide that guilty smile, condolences won't go away

[Verse 2]
The coins you bring left footprints, blind thirst and Braille liquor
My bed is stained with fractures year after vitiated year
Four corners you are touching, they will liberate my need
Bite marks in the menagerie with infidelic teeth

[Refrain 1]
So please break me a mirror
Hang the broken pieces of a place that isn't real
So if you don't hide that guilty smile, condolences won't go away

[Bridge 1]
Is there somethin' out there waitin' to take hold
When that whore won't answer who is in control?
And the names you planted drop the seed into a hole
And the names you planted drop the seed into a hole
If you force me often, I might jump off the board
