There's one thing I will never be able to understand but never cease to love. It's the uncanny ability for Maynard James Keenan to say the words I can't come up with. The strangest part of it all is that they approach me at a time I need them most. As if he was stenographing my life out as it happens and then reading it back to me in song simultaneously.
PASSIVE
"Dead as dead can be," the doctor tells me. But I just can't believe him.
Ever 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 right and 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,"
Wake up and face me.
Don't play dead cause maybe someday I will walk away and say,
"You fucking disappoint me. Maybe you're better off this way."
Go ahead and play dead.
I know that you can hear this.
Go ahead and play dead.
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
You fucking disappoint me.
Passive aggressive bullshit.
