A Perfect Circle- Mer De Noms
THE HOLLOW
Run, desire, run
A sexual being
Run him like a blade
To and through the hollow conscience
One motive: cater to the hollow
Screaming feed me here
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacify this hunger that's so cruel
Libido throw
Dominoes of indiscretions down
Falling all around in cycles, in circles
Constantly consuming, conquering, devour.
'Cause it's time to bring the fire down
Throttle 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
Temporarily pacifying
MAGDALENA
Overcome by your
Moving temple
Overcome by this
Holiest of altars
So pure
So rare
To witness such an earthly goddess
I lost my self control
Beyond compelled to throw this dollar down
Before your
Holiest of altars
I'll sell
My soul
My self esteem
A dollar at a time
For one chance
One kiss
One taste of you my magdalena
I've beared witness
To this place, this lair, so long forgotten
So pure, so rare, to witness such an earthly goddess
And 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'll sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time
For one taste
One taste
One taste of you my magdalena
ROSE
Don't
Disturb
The beast
The temperamental goat
The snail
While he's feeding on the rose
Stay rose, and compromise what I will, I am
Been around
The wind silently blown 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 hard to-
In the headlights, locked down and terrified
Your deer in the headlights shined down and horrified
When push comes to pull comes to shove comes to step around
This self destructive dance that never would've managed
I rose, I roared aloud, hear my will, I am
I am
My will
So no longer
Will I
Lay down
Play dead
Play this
Kneel-down gunshy martyr, pitiful
I rose, I roared, my will I am
JUDITH
You're such an inspiration for the ways that I will never ever choose to be
Oh so many ways for me to show you how your savior has abandoned you
Fuck your god!
Your lord, your christ
He did this
Took all you had and
Left you this way
Still you prayed never straying
Never taste of the fruit
You never thought to question why
Its not like you killed someone
Its 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
He 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 brake, never
Choke on the lie
Even though he's the one who did this to you
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
ORESTES
Metaphor for a missing moment
Pull me in to your perfect circle
One womb
One shape
One result
Liberate this will
To release us all
Gotta cut away, clear away
Slip away and sever this
Umbilical residue
Keeping me from killing you
And from pulling you down with me
In here
I can almost hear you scream
One more medicated peaceful moment
One more medicated peaceful moment
And I don't wanna feel this overwhelming
Hostility
Don't wanna feel this overwhelming
Hostility
Gotta cut away
Get away
Slip away and sever this
Umbilical residue
Gotta cut away
Get away
Slip away and sever this
Umbilical residue
Keeping me from killing you
(Slip away and sever this)
Keeping me from killing you
THREE LIBRAS
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
But I look right through
See you naked but oblivious
And you don't see me
But I threw you the obvious
Just to see if there was 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
See through
See you
'Cause 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
(repeat 3x)
You don't
See me, you...
You dont...
You dont see me at all
SLEEPING BEAUTY
Delusional
I believed I could 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 could 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 could wake you from your slumber
That I could actually heal you
Sleeping beauty
Poisoned and hopeless
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
Hiding from some poisoned memory
Poisoned and hopeless
Sleeping beauty
THOMAS
Humble and helpless
Learning to pray
Praying for visions
To show me the way
Show me the way to forgive you
Allow me to let it go
Allow me to be forgiving
Show me the way to let go
Show me the way to forgive you
Allow me to let it go
Allow me to be forgiving
Show me the way to let go
You made me yours
You made me
You pave the way
Just praying for you to show me
Where I'm to begin
Come into
Come
Come into
Come into
Come into
RENHOLDëR
THINKING OF YOU
Lying all alone and restless
Unable to lose this image
Sleepless unable to focus on anything but your surrender
Tuggin' a rhythm to the vision that's in my head
Tuggin' a beat to the sight of you lying
So delighted with a new understanding
Something about a little evil that makes that
Unmistakeable noise I was hearing
Unmistakeable sound that I know so well
Spent and sighing with that look in your eye
Spent and sweatin with that look on your face like
Sweet revelation
Sweet surrender
Thinking of you
Thinking of you
Sweet revelation
Sweet surrendering
BREñA
My reflection wraps and pulls me under
Healing waters to be bathed in breña
Guide me safely in
Worlds I've never been to
Heal me heal me
My dear breña
So vulverable
But it's all right
Heal me heal me
My dear breña
Show me lonely and
Show me openings to
Lead me closer to you
My dear brena
So vulnerable
But it's all right opening to heal
OVER
Been over
Been over this before
Been over and over
Been over this before
And over
And over this before
So over this
Been over this
So over this
Been over this
Over this before
