A Perfect Circle - Passive

Dead as dead can be

The doctor tells me

But I just can't believe him

Ever the optimistic one

I'm sure of your ability

To become my perfect enemy



Wake up and face me

Don't play dead 'cause maybe

Someday I will walk away and say

You disappoint me

Maybe you're better off this way



Leaning over you here

Cold and catatonic

I catch a brief reflection

Of what you could and might have been

It's your right and your ability

To become my perfect enemy



Wake up

(Why can’t you?)

And face me

(Come on now)

Don't play dead

(Don’t play dead)

'Cause maybe

(Because maybe)

Someday

(Someday)

I’ll walk away and say

You disappoint me

Maybe you're better off this way



Maybe you're better off this way (×3)

You're better off this (×2)

Maybe you're better off...



Wake up

(Why can't you?)

And face me

(Come on now)

Don't play dead

(Don’t play dead)

'Cause maybe

(Because maybe)

Someday

(Someday)

I’ll walk away and say

You fucking disappoint me

Maybe you're better off this way!



Go ahead and play dead

(GO!)

I know that you can hear this

(GO!)

Go ahead and play dead

(GO!)



Why can't you turn and face me?

(WAKE UP!)

Why can't you turn and face me?

(WAKE UP!)

Why can't you turn and face me?

(WAKE UP!)

Why can't you turn and face me?

(GO!)

You fucking disappoint me



Passive-aggressive bullshit... (×12)
