A Perfect Circle Mer De Noms Lyrics
1.Brena

my reflection wraps and pulls me under
healing waters to be bathed in brea
guide me safely in
worlds i've never been to
heal me heal me
my dear brea
so vulverable
but it's all right
heal me heal me
my dear brea
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


2.Judith

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
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

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
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 this all to you
He did it all for you


3.Magdalena

overcome by your
moving temple
overcome by this
holiest of altars
so pure
so rare
to witness such a lovely 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 a lovely 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


4.Oestes

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


5.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


6.Rose

don't
disturb
the beast
the tempermental 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


7.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


8.The Hollow

run, desire, run this sexual being
run him like a blade to & through the heart
no conscience, one motive...
to cater to the hollow.
screaming
feed me, fill me up again.
temporarily pacify this hungering.
so, grow, libido, throw dominoes of
indiscretions down.
falling all around in cycles/circles.
constantly consuming.
conquer and devour.
it's time to bring this fire down.
bridle all this indiscretion
long enough to edify and
permanently fill this hollow.
feed me, fill me up again.
temporarily pacify this hungering.


9.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
unmistakable soud 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


10.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 into
come into


11.Three Libras

threw you the obvious and you flew
with it on your back, a name in your recollection,
thrown down among a million same.
difficult not to feel a little bit disappointed
and passed over
when i've looked right through
to see you naked and 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,
the eyes of a tragedy.
here i am expecting just a little bit
too much from the wounded.
but i see through it all
and 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. apparently nothing.
you don't see me.
you don't see me at all.
