Orestes Lyrics by A Perfect Circle

Three Sixty

2000

[Verse 1]
Metaphor for a missing moment
Pull me in to your perfect circle
One womb, one shame, one resolve
Liberate this will to release us all

[Chorus]
Gotta cut away, clear away
Snip away and sever this
Umbilical residue
Keeping me from killing you

[Post-Chorus]
And from pulling you down with me here
I can almost hear you scream

[Verse 2]
One more medicated, peaceful moment (It's beautiful)
Give me one more medicated, peaceful moment
And I don't wanna feel this overwhelming hostility
I don't wanna feel this overwhelming hostility

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Gotta cut away, clear away
Snip away and sever this
Umbilical residue
Gotta cut away, clear away
Snip away and sever this
Umbilical residue
Keeping me from killing you

[Outro]
Snip away and sever this
Keeping me from killing you
