A Perfect Circle Lyrics

Sleeping Beauty

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 magically 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 your awakening
And hiding from
Some poisoned memory
Poisoned and hopeless
Sleeping beauty
