"Screaming...Stop Effecting Me..."

Second to "Screaming...Within my Cage..." Lyrics from 3 Libras on the album Mer De Noms by A Perfect Circle.

Thoughts onto a blank page one at a time.

Maybe it'll help keep them in line.

Thoughts chase each other never leaving my head.

Let it spread for it courses and burns within.

Play a new song.

Maybe Billy's voice won't be so strong with this one...

"Threw you the obvious and you flew with it on your back,

A name in your recollection, down among a million same.

Difficult not to feel a little bit disappointed, and passed over

When I've looked right through, see you naked but oblivious."

Thoughts keep coming back to you.

You in that Perfect Circle you have now built.

 Fine! Don't let me in but get out of my mind.

Too much to think about already.

Keep thinking and worrying about losing friendships.

My relationship but then the strings are played again.

His voice reminds me of how I discovered it but then remember...

"And you don't see me.

But I threw you the obvious, just to see if there's more behind the

Eyes of a fallen angel, eyes of a tragedy.

Here I am expecting just a little bit too much from the wounded

But I see, see through it all, see through, see you."

He's right.

You let me see through your blue pool like windows,

Let me drown myself and promised me happiness with no commitment.

Now no matter how many times I fool myself,

Lie that it's nothing,

You're just too hurt,

You just hurt me...

Your eyes tell all,,

Shows you want to be out of that circle you built.

Let me help let me be the sturdy pillar I was meant to be.

I want to ask you.

Just let me...

"'Cause I threw you the obvious, to see what occurs behind the

Eyes of a fallen angel, eyes of a tragedy, oh well."

But you won't say a thing to me.

Feel like I've let you down.

Wasted any chances...

Still he sings driving it all home.

Trudge around town.

End up where you are.

Walk passed.

Nothing.

But he continues to strum my chords...

"Oh well, apparently nothing.

Apparently nothing, at all."

Is that really true?

You confided in me,

Held me in your strong arms,

wrapped me in your toned torso.

Didn't let go...

But now...

"You don't, you don't, you don't, see me.

You don't, you don't, you don't, see me.

You don't, you don't, you don't, see me.

You don't see me.

You don't, you don't, you don't see me at all."
