These are the lyrics to some of my faorite songs by A Perfect Circle
Counting Bodies Like Sheep To The Ryhtym Of The Wardrum
Don't fret precious I'm here
Step away from the window (step away from the window)
Go back to sleep
Safe from pain and truth
And choice and other poison devils.
See, they don't give a fuck about you, like I do.
Count the bodies like sheep (like sheep, like sheep, like sheep...)
Count the bodies like sheep (like sheep, like sheep, like sheep...)
Oh! (repeat and fade)
Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums
Count the bodies like sheep (like sheep, like sheep, like sheep...)
Oh! (repeat and fade)
[Indistinguished Yelling (sounds like one of Hitler's speeches)]
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep (Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums)
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep (Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums)
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep (Counting bodies like sheep, like sheep, like sheep...)
Go back to sleep
Go to sleep [x14]
Go back to sleep (Oh!)
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep (Counting bodies like sheep, like sheep, like sheep...)
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep (Oh! Counting bodies like sheep...)
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep (Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums)
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep (Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums)
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep (Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums)
Go back to sleep
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 and the same, I must isolate you, isolate and save you from yourself.
Judith
------A Perfect Circle
You're such an inspiration
For the ways
That I'll 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 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...
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 break, never
(Choke on a 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
Goodnight dude
He did it all for you...
Weak And Powerless
------A Perfect Circle
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
The devil has my ear today
I'll never hear a word you say
Promised I would find a little solace
And some piece of mind
Whatever just as long as I don't feel so
Desperate and Ravenous
I'm so weak and powerless
Desperate and Ravenous
I'm so weak and powerless
over you
magdelena
------A Perfect Circle
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
Hollow
------A Perfect Circle
run, desire, run
this 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 its 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
temporarily pacifying
Orestes
------A Perfect Circle
Metaphor for a missing moment
Pull me in to your perfect circle
One womb
One shame
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
One more medicated peaceful moment
Give Me
One more medicated peaceful moment
And I don't wanna feel this overwhelming
Hostility
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
Snip away and sever this
Keeping me from killing you
The Noose
------A Perfect Circle
So glad to see you have overcome them
Completely silent now
With heaven's help
You've cast your demons out
And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you off your cloud
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're plannin' to go about makin' your amends
To the dead
To the dead
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 than just a little curious
How you're plannin' to go about makin' your amends
To the dead
To the dead
Its your halo slippin' down
Your halo slippin'
Your halo slippin' down
Your halo slippin' down
Your halo slippin' down
(I'm more than just a little curious
How you're plannin' to go about makin' your amends)
[repeated]
Your halo slippin' down
Your halo's slippin' down to choke you now
and my all time fave.
Help me if you can,
It's just that this,
Is not the way I'm wired,
So could you please,
Help me understand why,
You've given in to all these wreckless dark desires, you're
Lying to yourself again,
Suicidal imbecile,
Think about it,
Put it on a fault line,
What will it take to get it through to you, precious?
I’m over this
Why do you wanna throw it away like this,
Such a mess,
Why do I wanna watch you.
Disconnect and self destruct one bullet at a time,
What's your rush now?
Everyone will have his day to die
Medicated,
Drama queen,
Picture perfect numb belligerence,
Narcissistic,
Drama queen,
Craving fame and all its decadence
Lying through your teeth again,
Suicidal imbecile,
Think about it,
You put it on a fault line,
What will it take to get it through to you precious?
I'm over this, why do you want to throw it away like this?
Such a mess, Why do I wanna watch you?
Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet 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, you put on a fault line,
What will it take to get through to you precious?
I’m over this
Why do you throw it away like this?
Such a mess,
I'm over this
Over this!
Disconnect
And self destruct,
One
Bullet
At a time
What's
Your
Hurry,
Everyone will
Have
His
Day
To
Die
If you choose to pull the trigger,
Should your drama prove sincere,
Do it somewhere
Far away from here
hope you like em as much as me
