A Perfect Circle: The Thirteenth Step
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 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.
Tail in hand,
Dizzy and clearly unable to
Just let this go.
High and surrendering to 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
Needy 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.

Pet
Don't fret precious I'm here.
Step away from the window
And go back to sleep.
Lay your head down child,
I won't let the boogeyman come.
Count the 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.
Count the 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.
Swayin' to the rhythm of the new world order and
Countin' bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of a war drum.
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.
I'll hold you and protect you from the other ones.
The evil ones
Don't love you son.
Go back to sleep.
