Lyrics to some of my favorite songs by A Perfect Circle

 

Mer de Noms

Magdelena

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
For one change
One kiss
One taste of you my Magelena

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
Myself 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 Magelena

 

Mer de Noms

Orestes

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
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
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 you

 

 

Three Libras

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 enough to feel a little bit
Disappointed, passed over.
When I've looked right through,
To see you naked but oblivious
And you don't see me

Well 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,
And see you.

'Cause I threw you the obvious
Do you see what occurs behind the
Eyes of a fallen angel,
Eyes of a tragedy?

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 at all

 

Mer de Noms

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 vulnerable
But it's alright...

Heal me, heal me
My dear Breña

Show lonely and
Show me openings to
Bring me closer to you
My dear Breña

So vulnerable
But it's alright...

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