Cicatriz ESP The Mars Volta

[Verse 1]
Do you recall its name?
As it suggested beck and call, this face and heel
Will drag your halo through the mud, ash of Pompeii
Erupted in a statue's dust, shrouded in veils
Because these handcuffs hurt too much
Still scalping this ticketless applause
And when they drag the lake, there's nothing left at all

[Verse 2]
Sutured, contusion
Beyond the anthills of the dawning of this plague
Said, "I've lost my way"
Even if this cul-de-sac would pay
To reach inside a vault
Whatever be the cost
Sterling-clear blackened ice
And when they drag the lake, there's nothing left at all

[Chorus]
I've defected
I've defected
I've defected
I've defected

[Verse 3]
Sutured, contusion
Beyond the anthills of the dawning of this plague
Said, "I've lost my way"
Even if this cul-de-sac did pay
To reach inside a vault
Whatever be the cost
Sterling-clear blackened ice
And when they drag the lake, there's nothing left at all
