Picture-perfect, numb belligerence....


So I know I usually do the lyrics + mp3 posts but today I decided to go with a video. I've been listening to the album Thirteenth Step a lot lately, by A Perfect Circle, and something about is just amazing and beautiful to me. Anyway, the song "The Outsider" really began resonating with me this weekend, as I was driving to and from Hillcrest, for so many different reasons. The video for the song is awesome and I went looking for that to post but instead I found them doing the song live on some show and it's really good. I was lucky enough to see A Perfect Circle on their first tour after the release of Mer de Noms and I just think they're such a great live band.


A Perfect Circle - The Outsider Lyrics


Help me if you can
It's just that this
is not the way i'm wired so
could you please

Help me understand why
you've given in to all these
reckless dark desires your

Lying to yourself again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, put it on the faultline
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Over this, why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess, why do I wanna watch you

Disconnect and self destruct one bullet at a time
What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die

Medicated, drama queen, picture perfect, numb belligerence
Narcisistic, drama queen, craving fame and all this decadance

Lying through your teeth again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it, put it on the faultline
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Over this, why do you want to throw it away like this
Such a mess, why do I wanna watch you

Disconnect and self destruct one bullet at a time
What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die

They were right about you
They were right about you

Lying to my face again
Suicidal imbecile
Think about it put it on the fautline
What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Over this, why do you wanna throw it away like this
Such a mess, come to this, come to this

Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet at a time
What's your hurry, everyone will have his day to die
If you choose to pull the trigger, should your drama prove sincere,
Do it somewhere far away from here
