Cover art for Dyslexicon lyrics by Mars Volta, The

The correct lyrics

Nature red in tooth and claw I haven't seemed to keep my powder dry I always seem to hear it in your laughter

The second that I fell in love With the handle of your revolver I always seem to hear it in your laughter

I beg to you a second chance With a dried white rose from Bethlehem I always seem to hear it in your laughter

Am I the valency that you deny?

In the time of the sixth sun We are cattle to the prod I burn this dictionary Because that's my dyslexicon

When I collapse and bury all the things unconsciously I hear Cackling in chloroform this specter will ensnare I always seem to hear it in your laughter

A braided strain of children's mane Acquired with impunity I always seem to hear it in your laughter

The things you say to me are deaf in tongue I always seem to hear it in your laughter

Am I the valency that you deny?

In the time of the sixth sun We are cattle to the prod I burn this dictionary Because that's my dyslexicon

You've never tasted heaven Stood your mother filled with grief In the wake of Monday morning Finds a culprit void of breath with guile

If fate is your endearment Through pistil and through stem In the wake of Monday morning Finds a culprit void of breath with guile

On the seventh day you'll come to find That my prism is not colorblind In death's mosaic spirit A culprit void of breath with guile

That's when I repent, that's when I go under That's when I repent, that's when I go under That's when I repent for the night

In the time of the sixth sun We are cattle to the prod I burn this dictionary Because that's my dyslexicon

That's my dyslexicon
