3 Libras / A Perfect Circle

"Up until the mid twentieth century the mountain gorilla was considered a myth. Oddly enough, a legend not unlike bigfoot or the loch ness monster. The chance of actually seeing/experiencing this elusive shadow was as likely as finding ones soulmate.

Rare.

Precious.

Even once discovered they seemed unapproachable. The only way to get close to this magnificent creature was to become empathetic. Abandon all pretense and preconceptions.To bare an open throat. To collapse into the arms of vulnerability.

All but extinct, these beings/moments are threatened by the black hearted.The cold and oblivious. The empty eyed profit seekers that overlook these

Rare

Precious

Moments." - Maynard James Keenan

Lyrics

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
to see you naked and oblivious
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,
the eyes of a tragedy.

Here I am expecting just a little bit
too much from the wounded.
but i see through it all
and see you.

Cause I threw you the obvious
to see what occurs behind the eyes of a fallen angel,
eyes of a tragedy.
Oh well.
Apparently nothing.
You don't see me.
You don't see me at all.
