There was once a boy
With knives stuck in his voice
All he wanted, all he wanted was a little affection
Until one day he caved
Into his mother's taste
All she wanted, all she wanted was to spread her infection
He spins her spindle weaving fuse
Burning fumes of lucid youth to mend
Her broken thoughts
They've stolen all my love
Buried in absentia rose
In my vitreous heart
Breaking in absentia rose
Smokestacks burn, eidolon turning
I won't ever let you go
They've stolen all my love
Yes, they've stolen all my love
He returns alone
Changes here nor there
Does he want some?
Does he want a little insurrection?
Withhold my regrets
In somatic days
Ocular incision, tear down the reason
I've just gotta get out of here
He spins her spindle weaving fuse
Burning fumes of lucid youth to mend
Her useless flesh
They've stolen all my love
Buried in absentia rose
Can you hear my vitreous heart
Breaking in absentia rose?
Smokestacks burn, eidolon turning
I won't ever let you go
They've stolen all my love
Yes, they've stolen all my love
Taken by the night
Divagate remembrance
Check the puzzle, does it fit?
I am alpha and omega
And on the seventh day I rise
Past the pangs of my resistance
When the son gives up his throne
What becomes of this theft?
Dasehra
Make these shackles go away
Dasehra
Make these shackles go away
Dasehra
Won't you help me stand my ground if I should fall?
Dasehra
As long as I am injured
Dasehra
As long as I remember
Dasehra
As long as I am injured
Dasehra
As long as I remember
Dasehra
As long as I am injured
Dasehra
As long as I remember
Dasehra
As long as I am injured
With knives stuck in his voice
All he wanted, all he wanted was a little affection
Until one day he caved
Into his mother's taste
All she wanted, all she wanted was to spread her infection
He spins her spindle weaving fuse
Burning fumes of lucid youth to mend
Her broken thoughts
They've stolen all my love
Buried in absentia rose
In my vitreous heart
Breaking in absentia rose
Smokestacks burn, eidolon turning
I won't ever let you go
They've stolen all my love
Yes, they've stolen all my love
He returns alone

As long as I am injured

@Nuptunutation Amazingly well said. Loved the part where you (sort of) explained the meaning of Dasehra. This song really captures what I love about The Mars Volta. It's so chaotic, but the transitions are so very well done. I practically know no one else in my personal surroundings that know The Mars Volta, but boy would I love to share the experience I get of this music with my loved ones!
