Sleeping Beauty

A Perfect Circle

5

delusional i believed 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 heal you

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 could wake you from your slumber

that i could actually heal you

sleeping beauty poisoned and hopeless

far beyond a visible sign of your awakening

failing miserably to find a way to comfort you

far beyond a visible sign of you awakening

and hiding from some poisoned memory

poisoned and hopeless sleeping beauty
