A Perfect Circle Rose Lyrics

don't
disturb
the beast
the tempermental goat
the snail
while he's feeding on the rose
stay rose, and compromise what i will, i am

been around
the wind silently blown about
again i'm treading so
soft and lightly
compromising my will i am

i am
my will
so no longer
will i
lay down
play dead
play hard to-
in the headlights, locked down and terrified
your deer in the headlights shined down and horrified

when push comes to pull comes to shove comes to step around
this self destructive dance that never would've managed
i rose, i roared aloud, hear my will, i am

i am
my will
so no longer
will i
lay down
play dead
play this
kneel-down gunshy martyr, pitiful
i rose, i roared, my will i am
