Miranda That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore
The Mars Volta

[a. VADE MECUM]


I've always wanted

To eat glass with you again

But I never knew how

How to talk without

Walls dropping on the eve

The nest they made couldn't break you

Along the fallen

Scowled a fence of beaks

But the temple is scathing

Through your veins

They were scaling

Through an ice pick of abscess reckoning


And when Miranda sang

Everyone turned away

Used to the noose they obey


And whoever said that they would scatter

Separating the mother from child

She can bat a broken eyelid

Raining maggots from its sty

And with the traces that she leaves

She will skin you out alive


All the children go grinding their jaws

The sweet smell of their toothless canals

And the dam she will break,

Make an ocean from this lake

As they siphon off all our blood


And when Miranda sang

Everyone turned away

Used to the noose they obey


And when Miranda sang

Everyone turned away

Used to the noose they obey


And when Miranda sang

Everyone turned away

Used to the noose they obey


[b. POUR ANOTHER ICEPICK]


I think I've become like one of the others

I think I've become like one of the others

I think I've become like one of the others


There was a frail syrup dripping off

His lap danced lapel, punctuated by her

Decrepit prowl she washed down the hatching

Gizzard soft as a mane of needles

His orifice icicles hemorrhaged

By combing her torso to a pile

Perspired the trophy shelves made room for his collapse

She was a mink hand job in sarcophagus heels


Bring me to my knees

Read the sharpened lines

All my arms,

Bled me blind

Faucet leaks in shadows

Spilling from morgue lancet

Caressed your fontanelle

I've sworn to kill every last one

Every last one

Panic in the shakes of the wounded

Panic in the worms

Onto the floor

And out of your mouth

Out of your eyelids


No there's no light, in the darkest

Of your furthest reaches

No there's no light, in the darkest

Of your furthest reaches


All your dreams, splintered off

Leech by leech on this catafalque

Anyone will tell you, yes anyone

Chance had me setting a trip wire alarm

Your mother flirted with disease

When she skinned that costume by its navel strings

Panic in the shakes of the wounded

Panic in the worms, onto the floor

And out of your mouth


And out of your eyelids


No there's no light, in the darkest

Of your furthest reaches

No there's no light, in the darkest

Of your furthest reaches

No there's no light, in the darkest

Of your furthest reaches


Shock lest shackles free you

Volt face cons

Abandon you again

I won't feel not this time


Shock lest shackles free you

Volt face cons

Abandon you again

I won't feel not this time


[c. PISACIS (PHRA-MEN-MA)]


Brick by brick, the night eclipsed

Pricked by cuticle thorns

Dried the sleep on nursery slits

Into this life I'm born

Heaven's just a scab away

I'd like to see you after just one taste


Sink your teeth into the flesh of midnight

Night forever more,

Let them see it has begun

The others I've become


If you should see the dice,

Charmed with its snaked choked eyes

You'll wear the widows weeds

Because they're just your size

Behind the snail secretion,

Leaves a dry heave that absorbs

A limbless procreation,

Let the infant crawled deformed

A bag replaced the breath of these suffocating sheets

And now when the craving calls

I'll scratch my itchy teeth


Come on and sing it now...


Sink your teeth into the flesh of midnight,

Night forever more

Sink your teeth into the flesh of midnight,

Night forever more


She fell for the whispers,

Sister flooded deaf tears

That night tore a river,

In her baron womb mirror

And his multiple sons with their mandible tongues

Set crucified fires to petrified homes...

Let it burn


And the owls they were watching

And the owls didn't care

Then the owls came a knocking,

Placenta in their stares

They will feed on all the carnage,

Leftover from the flood

And in the corner of their eyes,

Fled sister L' Via

Sister L' Via


Now the pieces went floating,

Reflecting all at dusk

Conceived from the stabbing,

Was Vismund Cygnus


Twenty five wives in the lake tonight...


[d. CON SAFO]


Twenty five wives in the lake tonight

Raw bark in the water of the marble shrine

Twenty five snakes pour out your eyes

Yeah the icepicks cumming on the marble shrine

Twenty five snakes are drowning
