PASSIVE

This song fits my life at times. Lots of the time actually. Anyway...




PASSIVE - A PERFECT CIRCLE

Dead as dead can be
My doctor tells me
But I just can't believe him
Never 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 aim 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 against me?
(GO!)
You fucking disappoint me

Passive-aggressive bullshit... (×12)

It's from the soundtrack to the movie "Constanine." It's also on that APC cd that had all the weird ass covers. They did a VERY fucked up version of Lennon's "Imagine."

Constantine.

I think that's right.

I kinda like the Lennon cover but Passive is just an incredible song. There's just something about it, I could listen to it over and over. I don't know why.

You know, the sad thing is I liked the APC show better than the Tool show we saw.

"Does anyone remember a little show called...HeeHaw?"

"Sa-Lute!"

That was fucking funny.

The band, maybe? I don't know.

That was one of the most disappointing shows I have ever seen. I was really ready to see them too.

We should have known when we saw that shitty ass rap bullshit opening for them. We should have known something was up.
