A Stranger

A Perfect Circle

cast the calming apple

up and over satelites

to draw out the timid wild one

to convince you it's alright

and I listen for the whisper

of your sweet insanity while I formulate

denials of your affect on me



you're a stranger

so what do i care

you vanish today

not the first time I hear

all the lies



what am I to do with all this silence

shy away, shy away phantom

run away terrified child

won't you move away you you fuckin tornado

I'm better off without

tearing my will down
