The Noose
A Perfect Circle
Thirteenth Step (2003)

so glad to see you well
overcome and completely silent now
with heavens help
you cast your demons out
and not to pull your halo down
around your neck and tug you off your cloud
but I'm more than just curious
how you're planning to go about
making your amends to the dead
... to the dead

recall the deeds as if
they're all someone elses
atrocious stories
now you stand reborn before us all
so glad to see you well

and not to pull your halo down
around your neck and tug you to the ground
but I'm more than just curious
how you're planning to go about
making your amends to the dead
... to the dead

with your halo slipping down
your halo's slipping
your halo's slipping down
your halo's slipping down
your halo's slipping down(repeated)

your halo's slipping down to choke you now
