In Absentia Lyrics - Noctourniquet - Mars Volta

There was once a boy 

With knives stuck in his voice 

All he wanted, all he wanted was a little affection 

Until one day he came 

To tempt his mother's taste 

All she wanted, all she wanted was to spread her infection 

Spit and spindle we refuse 

Burning fumes of lucid youth to mend 

Her broken thoughts 

They've stolen all my love 

Buried in absentia 

Can you hear my vitreous heart 

Breaking in absentia 

Smokestacks burn 

I won't turn 

I won't ever let you go 

They've stolen all my love 

Yes, they've stolen all my love 

He returns alone 

Changes here nor there 

Does he want some 

Does he want a little insurrection? 

Withhold my regrets 

Insomnatic fate 

Opt out of incision 

Tear down the reason 

I've just gotta get out of here 

Spit and spindle we refuse 

Burning fumes of lucid youth to mend 

Her restless limbs 

They've stolen all my love 

Buried in absentia 

Can you hear my vitreous heart 

Breaking in absentia 

Smokestacks burn 

I won't turn 

I won't ever let you go 

They've stolen all my love 

Yes, they've stolen all my love 

Taken by the night 

Dye the gates remembrance 

Check the puzzle, does it fit 

I am alpha and omega 

And on the seventh day I rise 

Past the pangs of my resistance 

When the son gives up his throne 

What becomes of this theft 

Dasehra, make these shackles go away 

Dasehra, make these shackles go away 

Dasehra, won't you help me stand my ground if I should fall 

Dasehra, as long as I am injured 

Dasehra, as long as I remember 

Dasehra, as long as I am injured 

Dasehra, as long as I remember
