Sleeping Beauty - A Perfect Circle

Album: Mer de Noms

genre: Alternative Rock Progressive Rock

Delusional
I believe I can 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 can 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 can 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

Maynard: "I was in this relationship with a person who was so terrified to show me who they were that she basically acted or slept her way through nine months of the relationship and then just disappeared. I kinda wrote these words to maybe work through that."
