Sleeping Beauty

Title: Sleeping Beauty
Artist: 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

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
Hiding from some poisoned memory

Poisoned and hopeless
sleeping beauty
