"Equus 3" lyrics - THE MARS VOLTA

Never have I held the handle of a blade
The way I hold it looking at you
Flip it to the dagger and put it in your hands
And show me you know what to do
Run it under water and make sure that you cauterize the pupil lookin' at you
The stable's on fire, serrated reflections of "I can't help myself"

[Chorus:]
Pain in my heart, go away
'Til we settle the score, you tried to scatter to the wind
Pain in my heart, go away
It never stops when you say his name
Stops when you say his name again

Tell me you need someone, don't push away
Baby, don't push me away
I'm about to burn a hole inside
Now I got your worry on my mind
If it's eatin' at your soul
And you refuse to let it go
He'll come runnin' back to find
No reflection, no rewind

[Chorus:]
Pain in my heart, go away
'Til we settle the score, you tried to scatter to the wind
Pain in my heart, go away
It never stops when you say his name
Stops when you say his name again

[Bridge:]
Don't you let the spurs dig in
Will the deepest pockets win?
Will it only matter when it comes
And it happens to you?
You can try and blind them all
You can claim your God as fault
But I'll make him shatter when
I'll take an eye for an eye

[Chorus:]
Pain in my heart, go away
'Til we settle the score, you tried to scatter to the wind
Pain in my heart, go away
It never stops when you say his name
Stops when you say his name again
'Til we settle the score, you tried to scatter to the wind
Pain in my heart, go away
It never stops when you say his name
Stops when you say his name again
