[draxius]

You know, I realized the other day that a lot of people have never, ever heard this song. Read the lyrics a little more carefully than you normally would.
I think it may strike a chord with some of you.

[lyrics]
Pet
A Perfect Circle

Don't fret precious I'm here... step away from the window... Go back to sleep

Lay your head down child, I won't let the boogeyman come
Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind to the rabble, Pay no mind to the rabble
Head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind what other voices say - They don't care about you like I do [like I do]
Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils, see, they don't give a fuck about you, like I do.

Just stay with me, safe and ignorant, Go back to sleep.... Go back to sleep

Lay your head down child, I won't let the boogeyman come
Count the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind to the rabble, Pay no mind to the rabble
Head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums

I'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and all your demons
I'll be the one to protect you from a will to survive and a voice of reason
I'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and your choices son
They're one in the same I must isolate you
Isolate and save you from yourself

Swayin to the rhythm of the New World Order and
Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums

The boogeymen are coming, the boogeymen are coming

Keep your head down, go to sleep, to the rhythm of a war drums

Stay with me... Safe and ignorant... Just stay with me
Hold you and protect you from the other ones
The evil ones don't love you son
Go back to sleep
