The Mars Volta - Askepios Lyrics

I'll be there waiting
With the hook in your neck as the contact you've made
Deficient

And your arms will break
If you touch this fence
Please them 'till they're blind with cleft lens

What have you brought
For my appetite?
What have you brought
For my appetite?

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

I'll never perish
With the albino horns of a thousand young born
Will you drink to the depths of my sea?

And your arms will break
If you touch this fence
Please them 'till they're blind with cleft lens

(What have you brought
For my appetite?
What have you brought
For my appetite?)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

I might not make it back again
The vervain is on the rise
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe
They've got to open wide, got to open wide
The might of a serpent swallowing tail
Psycho recycled and I'm next to nothing

I said help me come alive
Help me come alive
Help me come alive
Help me come alive

Place your ring finger on this debt
Am I living or am I dead?
Do what thou will tell them what I found
The steps of a ladder from a diamondbacks mouth

I said help me come alive
Help me come alive
Help me come alive
Help me come alive
Help me come alive
Help me come alive

I ain't gonna hold my breath
I ain't gonna hold my breath
