Omar Rodríguez-López - Imago lyrics

My anguish told you A persistent lie The parasitic psychics that you push by wheel Were spoken to me everytime And like a charlatan You counterfeit the vessels through flesh and time These pacts we keep in secret Drinking from a well that was cured by drought My torment adores you When my strings are tied Out of compulsion I must decimate The sapless embryonic miles And like a charlatan You counterfeit the vessels through flesh and time These pacts we keep in secret Drinking from a well that was cured by drought My knives are burrowed voices Glistened by the handles so they won't let go These limbs are out of reaches Extensions of a spirit that is not controlled My heart is trapped inside And I refuse to accept this throne My night's unfolding Reads like a page of test results This sterile codex Is missing all my last resolve And like a charlatan You counterfeit the vessels through flesh and time These pacts we keep in secret Drinking from a well that was cured by drought
