Rose Lyrics

A Perfect Circle

Dont disturb the beast the temperamental goat the snail
While hes feeding on the rose stay frozen compromise what I will I am
Bend around the wind silently blown about again
Im treading so soft and lightly compromising my will I am
I am I will so no longer will I lay down
Play dead play your doe in the headlights shut down
And terrified your deer in the headlights locked down
And horrified when push comes to pull comes to shove
Comes to step around this self destructive dance
That never wouldve ended till I rose I roared aloud here I will I am
I am I will so no longer will I lay down
Play dead play your beat down gun shy martyr pitiful I rose I roared I will I am
