Orestes - Lyrics - A Perfect Circle

A Perfect Circle is an American rock supergroup formed in 1999 by guitarist Billy Howerdel and Tool vocalist Maynard James Keenan. The original incarnation of the band also included Paz Lenchantin on bass, Troy Van Leeuwen on guitar, and Tim Alexander on drums, with Josh Freese being the band's primary drummer after the band's initial round of touring prior to their first album. The latest lineup features Puscifer and Ashes Divide bassist Matt McJunkins, former guitarist for The Smashing Pumpkins, James Iha and Puscifer, Ashes Divide and Filter touring drummer Jeff Friedl. Despite having a varied cast since inception, the stylistic content of the songs has remained consistent with Howerdel as composer, and Keenan penning the lyrics and melodies.

Metaphor for a missing moment Pull me into your perfect circle One womb, one shape, one resolve Liberate this will to release us all You 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 I don't wanna feel this overwhelming hostility You 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
