Run desire, run
Sexual being Run him like a blade To and through the heart No conscience One motive To cater to the hollow Screaming feed me, here Fill me up again And 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 And temporarily pacifying Feed me, here Fill me up again And Temporarily pacifying 02. Magdalena Music by A Perfect Circle Lyrics by Billy Howerdel, Maynard James Keenan
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 And my self-esteem A dollar at a time For 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 And my self-esteem A dollar at a time For one taste One taste One taste of you My Magdalena 03. Rose Music by A Perfect Circle Lyrics by Billy Howerdel, Maynard James Keenan
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 Bend around The wind silently thrown about Again I'm treading so soft and lightly Compromising my will I am I am I will So no longer Will I lay down Play dead Play your doe In the headlight 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've ended 'Til I rose I roared aloud here I will I am I am I will So no longer Will I lay down Lay dead Play this Kneel down Gun-shy martyr Pitiful I rose I roared I will I am 04. Judith Music by A Perfect Circle Lyrics by Billy Howerdel, Maynard James Keenan
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 pray You 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 Never thought to question why 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, oh He did it all for you, whoa He did it all for you 05. Orestes Music by A Perfect Circle Lyrics by Billy Howerdel, Maynard James Keenan
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 here I can almost hear you scream Give me 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 Keeping me from killing you (Snip away and sever this) Keeping me from killing you 06. 3 Libras Music by A Perfect Circle Lyrics by Billy Howerdel, Maynard James Keenan
Threw you the obvious and you flew with it on your back
A name in your recollection, down among a million same 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, 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 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, you don't see me at all 07. Sleeping Beauty Music by A Perfect Circle Lyrics by Billy Howerdel, Maynard James Keenan
Delusional
I believe 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 I'm 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 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 Sleeping beauty 08. Thomas Music by A Perfect Circle Lyrics by Billy Howerdel, Maynard James Keenan

I could know who you are
I could knkw your mind Lies I will not I will not fall down 10. Thinking of You Music by A Perfect Circle Lyrics by Bolly Howerdel, Maynard James Keenan
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 eyes Spent and sweating with a look on your face like Sweet revelation Sweet surrender Surrender 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 eyes Spent and sweating with a look on your face like Sweet revelation Sweet surrendering Sweet revelation Sweet Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking Sweet revelation Sweet surrendering Sweet revelation 11.
