A Perfect Circle

A Perfect Circle - 3 libras Lyrics
Album: Mer De Noms



Threw you the obvious
And you flew with it on your back
A name
In your recollection
Down among a million say

Difficult not to feel a little bit
Disappointed and passed over
When I've looked right through
See you naked but oblivious
And you don't
See
Me

But I threw you the obvious
Just to see if there's more behind the
Eyes of a fallen angel
Eyes of a tragedy
Here I am expecting just a little bit
Too much from the wounded
But I see, see through it all
And see through
See you
So I threw you the obvious
To see what occurs behind the
Eyes of a fallen angel
Eyes of a tragedy

Oh well
Oh well
Apparently nothing
Apparently nothing at all

You don't
You don't
You don't see me
You don't
You don't
You don't see me
You don't
You don't
You don't see me
You don't
You don't
You don't see me
You don't
see me!
You don't
You don't
You don't see me at all

Perfect Circle - Brena Lyrics
Album: Mer De Noms



My reflection wraps and pulls me under healing waters
to be bathed in Brena

Guide me safely in worlds I've never been to
Heal me Heal me My dear Brena

(Mull around) it's alright

Heal me Heal me My dear Brena

Show me lonely and show me openings
To bring me closer to you My dear Brena

(Mull around) it's alright

Opening to... heal... Opening to... heal...
Heal... Heal... Heal...

A Perfect Circle - Judith Lyrics
Album: Mer De Noms



you're such an inspiration for ways that i will never
ever choose to be.
oh so many ways for me to show you how your savior
has abandoned you.
(Thank)Fuck your god,
Your lord,
Your christ.
he did this,
took all you had and left you this way.
still you pray,
never stray,
never taste of the fruit.
never thought to question why.
it's not like you killed someone.
it's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side.
praise the one who left you broken down and
paralyzed.
he did it all for you.
did it all for you.

oh so many ways for me to show you how your
dogma has abandoned you.
pray to your christ, to your god.
never taste of the fruit,
never stray,
never break,
never choke on a lie,
even though he's the one who did this to you
never thought to question why
it's not like you killed someone.
it's not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side.
talk to jesus christ as if he knows the reasons why he
did it all for you.
he did it all for you.
he did it all for you.

A Perfect Circle - Magdelena Lyrics
Album: Mer De Noms



Overcome by your
Moving temple
Overcome by this
Holiest of
altars

So pure
So rare
To witness such an earthly goddess
That
I've lost my self control
Beyond compelled to throw this dollar down before
your
Holiest of altars

I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar
at a time

One chance
One kiss
One taste of you my
magdalena

I bear witness
To this place, this prayer, so long
forgotten
So pure
So rare
To witness such an earthly
goddess

That I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a
time
For one chance
One kiss
One taste of you my black
madonna

I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a
time

One taste
One taste
One taste of you my Magdalena

A Perfect Circle - Orestes Lyrics
Album: Mer De Noms



Metaphor for a missing moment
Pull me into your perfect circle

One womb
One shape
One resolve

Liberate this will
To release us all

Gotta cut away, clear away
Snip away and sever this
Umbilical residue that's
Keeping me from killing you

And from pulling you down with me in here
I can almost hear you scream

Give me
One more medicated peaceful moment
One more medicated peaceful moment

And I don't wanna feel this overwhelming
Hostility
Because I don't wanna feel this overwhelming
Hostility

Gotta cut away Clear away
Snip away and sever this
Umbilical residue
Gotta cut away Clear away
Snip away and sever this
Umbilical residue that's
Keeping me from killing you
Keeping me from killing youA Perfect Circle Lyrics Index

A Perfect Circle - Rose Lyrics
Album: Mer De Noms



Don't disturb the beast,
the temperamental goat, the snail,
While he's feeding on the rose --
Stay frozen,
compromise what I will I am

been around the wind,
silently thrown about again
I'm treading so soft
and lightly,
compromising my will I am

I am my will,
So no longer will I lay down
Play dead
Play your doe
in the headlights,
locked down and terrified
Your deer in the headlights,
shot down and horrified
When push comes to pull,
comes to shove,
comes to step around
This self-destructive dance that never would have ended
'Till I rose, I roared aloud,
Here, I will I am

I am my will,
So no longer will I lay down
Play dead
Play this..
Kneel down,
gun-shy,
martyr,
pitiful,
I rose, I roared,
My will, I am

Perfect Circle - Sleeping beauty Lyrics
Album: Mer De Noms



Delusional
I believe I can cure it all for you, dear
Coax or trick or drive or
drag the demons from you
Make it right for you sleeping beauty
Truly thought
I can magically heal you

You're far beyond a visible sign of your awakening
Failing miserably to rescue

Sleeping Beauty

Drunk on ego
Truly thought I could make it right
If I kissed you one more time to
Help you face the nightmare
But you're far too poisoned for me
Such a fool to think that I can wake you from your slumber
That I could actually heal you..

Sleeping Beauty
Poisoned and hopeless
You're far beyond a visible sign of your awakening
Failing miserably to find a way to comfort you

Far beyond a visible sign of your awakening
And hiding from some poisoned memory

Poisoned and hopeless

A Perfect Circle - The hollow Lyrics
Album: Mer De Noms



Run desire run
Sexual being
Run him like a blade
To and through the heart
No conscience
One Motive
Cater to the hollow

Screaming feed me here
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacify this hungering
So grow
Libido throw
Dominoes of indiscretions down
Falling all around
In cycles
In circles
Constantly consuming
Conquer and devour

Cause it's time to bring the fire down
Bridle all this indiscretion
Long enough to edify
And permanently fill this hollow

Screaming feed me here
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacifying

Feed me here
Fill me up again

A Perfect Circle - Thinking of you Lyrics
Album: Mer De Noms



Lying all alone and restless
unable to lose this image
sleepless, unable to focus on
anything but your surrender

Tugging a rhythm to the vision that's in my head
Tugging a beat to the sight of you lying
So delighted with a new understanding
Something about a little evil that makes that
Unmistakable noise I was hearing
Unmistakable sound that I know so well
Spent and sighing with a look in your eye
Spent and sighing with a look on your face like

Sweet revelation sweet surrender
sweet, sweet surrender
Surrender...

Tugging a rhythm to the vision that's in my head
Tugging a beat to the sight of you lying
So delighted with a new understanding
Something about a little evil that makes that
Unmistakable noise I was hearing
Unmistakable sound that I know so well
Spent and sighing with a look in your eye
Spent and sighing with a look on your face like

Sweet revelation sweet surrendering
Sweet revelation sweet

Thinking of you, thinking
Thinking of you, Thinking of you, Thinking of you, thinking...

Sweet revelation sweet surrendering

Perfect Circle - Blue Lyrics
Album: Thirteenth Step

I didn't want to know
I just didn't want to know
Best to keep things in the shallow end
Cause I never quite learned how to swim

I just didn't want to know
Didn't want, didn't want,
Didn't want, didn't want

Close my eyes just to look at you
Taken by the seamless vision
I close my eyes,
Ignore the smoke,
Ignore the smoke

Call it aftermath, she's turning blue
Such a lovely color for you
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue
While I just sit and stare at you

Because I don't want to know
I didn't want to know
I just didn't want to know
I just didn't want

Mistook their nods for an approval
Just ignore the smoke and smile

Call it aftermath, she's turning blue
Such a lovely color for you
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue
Such a perfect color for your eyes
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue
Such a lovely color for you
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue
While I just sit and stare at you

I don't want to know

A Perfect Circle - Gravity Lyrics
Album: Thirteenth Step


Lost again
Broken and weary
Unable to find my way
Tail in hand
Dizzy and clearly unable to
Just let this go

I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live

I fell again
Like a baby unable to stand on my own
Tail in hand
Dizzy and clearly unable to just this go
High and surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live, I choose to live, I choose to live

Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
Help me survive the bottom

Calm these hands before they
Snare another pill and
Drive another nail down another
Meaty hole please release me

I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live,

A Perfect Circle - Pet Lyrics
Album: Thirteenth Step



Don't fret precious I'm here, step away from the window
Go back to sleep

Lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come

Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble

Head down, go to sleep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind what other voices say
They don't care about you, like I do, like I do
Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils,
See, they don't give a fuck about you, like I do.

Just stay with me, safe and ignorant,
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep

Lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come
Count the bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble

Head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums

I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and all your demons

I'll be the one to protect you from
A will to survive and a voice of reason

I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and your choices son
They're one in the same
I must isolate you
Isolate and save you from yourself

Swayin to the rhythm of the new world order and
Count the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drum

The boogeymen are coming
The boogeymen are coming

Keep your head down, go to sleep, to the rhythm of a war drum

Stay with me
Safe and ignorant
Just stay with me
Hold you and protect you from the other one
The evil ones
Don't love you son,
Go back to sleep

A Perfect Circle - The noose Lyrics
Album: Thirteenth Step



So glad to see you well
Over come them
Completely silent now
With heavens help
You�ve cast your demons out

And not to pull your halo down
Around you neck and tug you off your cloud

But I�m then just a little curious
How you�re planing to go about making your amends
To the dead x2

Recall the deeds as if they�re all
Someone else�s atrocious stories
Now you stand reborn before us all
So glad to see you well

And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you to the ground

But I�m more then just a little curious
How you�re planing to go about making your amends
To the dead x2

With your halo slippin� down
Your halo slippin�

Your halo slippin� down
Your halo slippin� down

Your halo slippin� down
(More then just a little curious how your planing to go about making your amends) x4

Your halo slippin� down
Your halo slippin� down to choke you now

A Perfect Circle - The nurse who loved me Lyrics
Album: Thirteenth Step



Say hello to the rug's topography
It holds quite a lot of interest with your face down on it
Say hello to the shrinking in your head
You can't see it but you know its there so don't neglect it

I'm taking her home with me all dressed in white
She's got everything I need pharmacy keys
She's falling hard for me I can see it in her eyes
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys

Say hello to all the apples on the ground
They were once in your eyes but you sneezed them out while sleeping
Say hello to everything you've left behind
It's even more a part of your life now that you can't touch it

I'm taking her home with me all dressed in white
She's got everything I need some pills and a little cup
She's falling hard for me I can see it in her eyes
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys

She's got everything I need, pharmacy keys
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys

Say hello to the rug's topography

A Perfect Circle - The outsider Lyrics
Album: Thirteenth Step

Help me if you can
It's just that this is going away
I want it so quickly please,

Help me understand what
I've given in to all the years
And this darkness I have known

Lying to myself again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, put it on the faultline
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Come on to this, why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a bitch, why do I wanna watch you

Disconnect and self destruct one woman at a time
What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die

Medicated, drawn away, picture perfect, no more legiments
Narcisistic, drawn away, craving fame and all this decadance

Lying through your teeth again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, put it on the fautline
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Come to this, why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a bitch, why do I wanna watch you

Disconnect and self destruct one woman at a time
What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die

They were right about you
They were right about you

Lying to my face again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it put it on the fautline
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Come on to this , why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a bitch, come to this, come to this

Disconnect and self destruct, one woman at a time
What's your hurry, everyone will have his day to die
If you choose to pull the trigger, should your karma prove sincere,

A Perfect Circle - The package Lyrics
Album: Thirteenth Step

Clever got me this far
Then tricky got me in
I am what I'm after
I don't need another friend
Smile and drop the cliche
'Till you think I'm listening
I take just what I came for
Then I'm out the door again

Peripheral long the package
Don't care to settle in
Time to feed the monster
I don't need another friend
Comfort is a mystery
Crawling out of my own skin
Just give me what I came for, then I'm out the door again

Lie to get what I came for
Lie to get just what I need
Lie to get what I crave
Lie and smile to get what's mine

I am what I'm after
I don't need another friend
Nod and watch your lips move
If you need me to pretend
Because clever got me this far
Then tricky got me in
I'll take just what I came for
Then I'm out the door again

Lie to get what I came for
Lie to get what I need now
Lie to get what I'm craving
Lie and smile to get what's mine

Give this to me
Mine, mine, mine
Take what's mine
Mine, mine, mine
Take what's mine
Mine, mine, mine

Lie to get what I came for
Lie to get what I need now
Lie to get what I'm craving
Lie to smile and get what's mine

Give this to me
Take what's mine
Mine, mine, mine
Take what's mine
Give this to me

Take what's mine, take what's mine, mine...
Take what's mine, take what's mine, take what's mine,
This is mine, mine, mine [whispered]

Album: Thirteenth Step


Disappear
Disappear
Higher
Higher
Into the air
Slowly disappear
No, no longer here

Disappear
Disappear
Thinner
Thinner
Into the air

Never really here
What that never

Like a thought brushing up against a sigh
Floating away
Floating away (repeated)

Vanishing like a sigh and slowly
Disappear
Disappear
Vanish
Vanish
Into the air
Slowly disappear
Never really here

Floating away
Floating away (repeated)

A Perfect Circle - Weak and powerless Lyrics
Album: Thirteenth Step



Tilling my own grave to keep me level
Jam another dragon down the hole
Digging to the rhythm and the echo of a solitary siren
One that pushes me along and leaves me so
Desperate and ravenous
I�m so weak and powerless over you
Someone feed the monkey while I dig in search of china
White as Dracula as I approach the bottom

Desperate and ravenous
I'm so weak and powerless over you

Little angel go away, come again some other day
Devil has my ear today, I'll never hear a word you say
He promised that I�d find a little solace and some peace of mind
Whatever just as long as I don't feel so
Desperate and ravenous
I'm so weak and powerless
Desperate, ravenous
I'm so weak and powerless over you
Over youA Perfect Circle Lyrics Index

Album: Emotive



And so once again
My dear johny my dear friend
And so once again you are fighting us all
And when i ask you why
You raise your sticks and cry and i fall

Oh my friend how did you come
To trade the fiddle for the drum

You say i have turned

But i can remember all the good things you are
And so i ask you pleace
Can i help you find the peace and the star

Oh my friend what time is this
To trade the hand shake for the fist

You raise your sticks and cry and we fall

Oh my friend how did you come

But we can remember all the good things you are
And so we ask you
Pleace can we help you find the peace and the star

Oh my friend we have all come
To fear the beating of your drum

A Perfect Circle - Freedom of choice Lyrics
Album: Emotive



We're victims of sedition on the open sea.
No one ever said life was free.
Sink, swim, go down with the ship.
Just use your freedom of choice.

I'll say it again in the land of the free
Use your freedom of choice, freedom of choice.

In ancient Rome
there was a pawn
who followed along
and watched it fall
he cast a stone
he felt secure
he felt that he would never be heard.

Freedom of choice
it's what you've got
Freedom of choice

You're given a voice
you don't want it
seems to be the rule of thumb
don't be tricked by waht you see
you've got two ways to go

I'll say it again in the land of the free:
Use your freedom of choice, freedom of choice.

Freedom of choice
it's what you've got
Freedom of choice...

In ancient Rome
there was a pawn
who followed along
and watched it fall
he cast a stone
he felt secure
he felt that his voice would never be heard.

Freedom of choice
it's what you've got
Freedom from choice
it's what you want.

Freedom of choice -
it's what you've got.
Freedom from choice.
It's what you want.

Freedom from choice
It's what you want.
Freedom from choice.

Imagine there's no heaven

No hell below us

Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Dead as dead can be
The doctor tells me
But I just can�t believe him
Ever the optimistic one
I�m sure of your ability
To become my perfect enemy

Wake up and face me
Don�t play dead cause maybe
Someday I will walk away and say
You disappoint me
Maybe you�re better off this way

Leanin' over you here
Cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection
Of what you could and might have been
It's your right and your ability
To become my perfect enemy

Wake up and face me
Don�t play dead cause maybe
Someday I will walk away and say
You disappoint me
Maybe you�re better off this way

Maybe you�re better off this way
Maybe you�re better off this way
Maybe you�re better off this way
You�re better of this�you�re better off this�
Maybe you�re better off!

Wake up and face me
Don�t play dead cause maybe
Someday I will walk away and say
You fuckin' disappoint me
Maybe you�re better off this way

Go ahead and play dead
I know that you can hear this
Go ahead and play dead
Why can't you turn and face me?

Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
You fuckin' disappoint me
