Sleeping Beauty (extended intro) Songtext
von A Perfect Circle

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

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, 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
Hiding from some poisoned memory

Poisoned and hopeless
Sleeping Beauty
