Sleeping Beauty - A Perfect Circle

Delusional

I believe 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 magically heal you

You’re far beyond a visible sign of your awakening

I’m 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

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
