A Perfect Circle - Mer De Noms And Thirteenth Step lyrics

Your rating:

I know how much it sucks to reeeally want lyrics yet you can't find them, so here are the complete lyrics to both of their albums. This band is amazing, and i urge everyone to support them and purchase their cd's.



***MER DE NOMS***

-Hollow-

Run desire run
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 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
Temporarily pacifying

Feed me here
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacifying

-Magdalena-

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

-Rose-

Don't disturb
The beast
The tempermental goat
The snail while he's feeding on
the Rose
Stay frozen, compromising
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 headlights 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-destructing dance that never
would've ended till 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


-Judith-


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 the savior has abandoned you
Fuck your God
Your Lord and 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
You 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 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

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
Did it all for you
He did it all for you..


-Orestes-

Metaphor for a missing moment
Pull me into your perfect circle

One womb One chain 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

One more medicated peaceful moment (give me)
One more medicated peaceful moment

And I don't wanna feel this overwhelming hostility
No, I don't wanna feel this world around me hostility
Kill it
Gotta cut away clear away
Snip away inside of this umbilical residue
Gotta cut away clear away
Snip away inside of this umbilical residue
Keeping me from killing you
Keeping me from killing you


-3 Libras-

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 and 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.

So 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


-Sleeping Beauty-

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


-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 forgiven
Show me the way to let go
Show me the way to forgive you
Allow me to let it go
Allow me to be forgiven
Show me the way to let go

Illuminate me,
Illuminate me,
Illuminate me,
I'm just praying for you to show me
Where I'm to begin

Hoping to
Hoping to reconnect to you..


-Thinking Of You-

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 forgiven
Show me the way to let go
Show me the way to forgive you
Allow me to let it go
Allow me to be forgiven
Show me the way to let go

Illuminate me,
Illuminate me,
Illuminate me,
I'm just praying for you to show me
Where I'm to begin

Hoping to
Hoping to reconnect to you..


-Brena-


My reflection
Wraps and pulls me under
healing waters to be
Bathed in Bre?a

Guides me
Safely in
Worlds I've never been to
Heal me
Heal me
My dear Bre?a

So vulnerable
But it's alright

Heal me
Heal me
My dear Bre?a

Show me lonely and
Show me openings
To lead me closer to you
My dear Bre?a

(Feeling so) vulnerable
But it's alright

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

Heal me


-Over-


been over, been over this before
been over and over
been over this before

And over, been over this before
so over this.
Been over this.
So over this.
Been over this.
Over this before

(possibly one of the best albums put out in a few years.....)
NEW ALBUM:***THIRTEENTH STEP***


-The Package-

Clever got me this far,
Then tricky got me in,
Eye on what I'm after,
I don't need another friend

Smile and drop the clich?,
'Til you think I'm listening,
I take just what I came for,
Then I'm out the door again
Peripheral long the package,
Don't care to settle in,
Time to feed the monster,
I don't need another friend,
Comfort is a mystery,
Crawling out of my own skin,
Just give me what I came for,
And I'm out the door again
Lie to get what I came for,
Lie to get just what I need,
Lie to get what I crave,
Lie and smile to get what's mine
Eye on what I'm after,
I don't need another friend,
Nod and watch your lips move,
If you need me to pretend,
Because clever got me this far,
Then tricky got me in,
I'll take just what I came for,
Then I'm out the door again
Lie to get what I came for,
Lie to get just what I need now,
Lie to get what I'm craving,
Lie and smile to get what's mine
Give this to me (mine, mine, mine),
Take what's mine,
Mine, Mine, Mine,
Take what's mine,
Mine, Mine, Mine
Lie to get what I came for,
Lie to get just what I need now,
Lie to get what I crave,
Lie to smile to get what's mine
Give this to me,
Take what's mine,
Mine, Mine, Mine,
Take what's mine (give this to me)
Take what's mine, Take what's mine,
Mine, Take what's mine, Take what's mine, Take what's mine,
This is mine, Mine


-Weak and Powerless-

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,
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,
So weak and powerless,
Over you

Little angel go away,
Come again some other day,
Devil has my ear today,
I'll never hear a word you say,
You 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,
So weak and powerless
Desperate and ravenous,
So weak and powerless,
Over you, Over you


-The Noose-

So glad to see you well,
Overcome and completely silent now,
With heaven's help,
You 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 planning to go about making 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 planning to go about making your amends to the dead, to the dead
With your halo slipping down,
Your halo's slipping
Your halo's slipping down, Your halo's slipping down, Your halo's slipping down, Your halo's slipping down,
Your halo's slipping down, Your halo's slipping down, Your halo's slipping down, Your halo's slipping down to choke you now


-Blue-

I didn't want to know,
I just didn't want to know,
Best to keep things in the shallow end,
'Cause I never quite learned how to swim

I just didn't want to know,
Didn't want, Didn't want, Didn't want, Didn't want

Close my eyes just to look at you,
Taken by the seamless vision,
I close my eyes, Ignore the smoke, Ignore the smoke, Ignore the smoke

Call it aftermath, She's turning blue,
Such a lovely color for you,
Call it aftermath, She's turning blue,
While I just sit and stare at you
Because I don't want to know
I didn't want to know,
I just didn't want to know,
I just didn't want
Mistook their nods for an approval,
Just ignore the smoke and smile
Call it aftermath, She's turning blue,
Such a lovely color for you,
Call it aftermath, She's turning blue,
Such a perfect color for your eyes,
Call it aftermath, She's turning blue,
Such a lovely color for you,
Call if aftermath, She's turning blue,
While I just sit and stare at you
I don't want to know


-Vanishing-

Disappear, Disappear,
Higher, Higher,

Into the air,
Slowly disappear,
No, no longer here



Disappear, Disappear,
Thinner, Thinner,

Into the air,
Never really here,
Wasn't ever



Like a thought brushing up against a sign


Floating away (25x)



Vanishing like a cyan Sunday,
Disappear, disappear,

Vanish, vanish, into the air,
Slowly disappear,
Never really here



-A Stranger-


Cast the calming apple,
Up and over satellites,
To draw out the timid wild one,
To convince you it's alright


And I listen for the whisper,
Of your sweet insanity,
While I formulate denials of your affect on me

You're a stranger so what do I care?,
You vanish today, not the first time I hear all the lies



What am I to do with all this silence?

Shy away, shy away phantom,
Run away terrified child,
Won't you move away you fucking tornado,
I'm better off without you tearing my will down





-The Outsider-

Help me if you can,
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 reckless dark desires
You're lying to yourself again,
Suicidal imbecile,
Think about it, put it on the fault line,
What'll 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 would I want to 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 this decadence
Lying through your teeth again,
Suicidal imbecile,
Think about it, put it on the fault line,
What'll 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 would I want to 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, put it on the fault line,
What'll 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, 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


-Crimes-


One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight,
Nine, Nine, Nine,
Ten, Ten, Ten





-The Nurse Who Loved Me-


Say hello to the rug's topography,
It holds quite a lot of interest with your face down on it

Say hello to the shrinking in your head,
You can't see it, but you know it's there,

So don't neglect it

I'm taking her home with me, all dressed in white,
She's got everything I need, pharmacy keys,
She's falling hard for me, I can see it in her eyes,
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys


Say hello to all the apples on the ground,
They were once in your eyes,
But you sneezed them out while sleeping,
Say hello to everything you've left behind,
It's even more a part of your life now, that you can't touch it



I'm taking her home with me, all dressed in white,
She's got everything I need, some pills and a little cup,
She's falling hard for me, I can see it in her eyes,
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys



She's got everything I need, pharmacy keys,
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys



Say hello to the rug's topography



-Pet-

Don't fret precious, I'm here,
Step away from the window (away from window),
Go back to sleep

Lay your head down child,
I won't let the boogeyman come,
Counting bodies like sheep,
To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind to the rabble, pay no mind to the rabble,
Head down, go to sleep, to the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind what other voices say,
They don't care about you, like I do, like I do,
Safe from pain, and truth, and choice, and other poison devils,
See? They don't give a fuck about you, like I do

Just stay with me, safe and ignorant,
Go back to sleep, go back to sleep

Lay your head down child,
I won't let the boogeyman come,
Counting bodies like sheep,
To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind to the rabble, pay no mind to the rabble,
Head down, go to sleep, to the rhythm of the war drums

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

Swaying to the rhythm of the New World Order and,
Counting the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums

The boogeymen are coming, the boogeymen are coming,
Keep your head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums

Stay with me, safe and ignorant,
Just stay with me,
Hold you and protect you from the other ones, the evil ones,
Don't love you son, go back to sleep



-Lullaby-

Go back to sleep

-Gravity-

Lost again, broken and weary,
Unable to find my way,
Tail in hand, dizzy and clearly unable to just let this go
I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown,
Catch me, heal me, lift me back up to the sun,
I choose to live
I fell again, like a baby unable to stand on my own,
Like a baby unable to stand on my own,
Tail in hand, dizzy and clearly unable to just let this go,
High and surrendering to the gravity and the unknown,
Catch me, heal me, lift me back up to the sun,
I choose to live, I choose to live, I choose to live
Catch me, heal me, lift me back up to the sun,
Help me survive the bottom
Calm these hands before they,
Snare another pill and drive another nail down another meaty hole,
Please release me
I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown,
Catch me, heal me, lift me back up to the sun,
I choose to live, I choose to live

good, but try again on 'thinking of you'
