Omar Rodríguez-López
Ouroborous
[Verse 1]
It appears to me, quoting alarms
The guillotine smirks in your house I smothered
Sight unseen, sworn to harm
Ground to a powder, and soaked through the board

[Chorus]
Don't you ever (ever), ever (ever)
Ever trust my mercy
Don't you ever (ever), ever (ever)
Ever trust my mercy
When will you flirt with all that's burnin'?
Keep them safe and by your side

[Verse 2]
Of all that's left, a lucid home
Anecdote settles in the smear of this corpse
If the larva speaks ask where to go
They mount the maker with a sulphur in fume

[Chorus]
Don't you ever (ever), ever (ever)
Ever trust my mercy
Don't you ever (ever), ever (ever)
Ever trust my mercy
When will you flirt with all that's burnin'?
Keep them safe and by your side
[Refrain]
Of all the warnings that you gave me
With all components in the fault
Have you ever heard me scrapin'? It'll be hard
To hold

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Don't you ever (ever), ever (ever)
Ever trust my mercy
Don't you ever (ever), ever (ever)
Ever trust my mercy
When will you flirt with all that's burnin'?
Keep them safe and by your side

[Refrain]
Of all the warnings that you gave me
With all components in the fault
Have you ever heard me scrapin'? It'll be hard
To hold

[Bridge 1]
All I hear, mending the gap
Fall in here, might not make it back
Call that someone, may they hear you
Take me with you, it's not safe in here
[Bridge 2]
And all you ask is why, why, why
And all you ask is why I'm certain you're holdin' on
Mirror floats to the surface, holdin' on
(Of all the warnings that you gave me
With all components in the fault
Have you ever heard me scraping? It'll be hard
To hold)

[Outro]
Of all the warnings that you gave me
With all components in the fault
Have you ever heard me scrapin'? It'll be hard
To hold
They lost the presence they were holding
Looks like the tenants flickered off
If the cell that holds me breaks me, it'll be hard
To hold
