Dyslexicon lyrics
by The Mars Volta
[Verse 1]
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 begged to you a second chance with dried white roads to Bethlehem
I always seem to hear it in your laughter
[Pre-Chorus]
Am I the valency that you deny?
[Chorus]
In the time of the sixth sun
We are cattle to the prod
And I burn this dictionary
'Cause it's my dyslexicon
[Verse 2]
When I collapse and bury all the things, unconsciously I hear
Cacklin' in chloroform this spectre will ensnare
I always seem to hear it in your laughter
A braided strand of children's manes, 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Am I the valency that you deny?
[Chorus]
In the time of the sixth sun
We are cattle to the prod
And I burn this dictionary
'Cause it's my dyslexicon
[Bridge 1]
You've never tasted heaven
Stood your mother filled with grief
In the wake of Monday morning
A culprit void of breath with guile
If fate is your endearment
Through pistil and through stem
In the wake of Monday morning
A culprit void of breath with guile
And on the seventh day you will come to find
That my prism is not colorblind
In death's mosaic spirit
A culprit void of breath with guile
[Bridge 2]
That's why I repent, that's why I go under
That's why I repent, that's why I go under
That's why I repent for the night
[Chorus]
In the time of the sixth sun
We are cattle to the prod
And I burn this dictionary
'Cause it's my dyslexicon
In the time of the sixth sun
We are cattle to the prod
And I burn this dictionary
'Cause it's my dyslexicon
It's my dyslexicon
