A Perfect Circle - Passive

"Passive" is a song by the alternative rock group A Perfect Circle. The song is a remake of the song "Vacant" by the now-defunct band Tapeworm.

"Vacant" was first performed by A Perfect Circle without Trent Reznor's agreement.

The song is used in the film Constantine and the music video uses imagery from the film: Angela Dodson (Rachel Weisz's character) entering hell.

Lyrics:

Dead as dead can be
My 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
(Why cant you?)
And face me
(Come on now)
Don't play dead
(Dont play dead)
'Cause maybe
(Because maybe)
Someday
(Someday)
I will walk away and say
You disappoint me
Maybe you're better off this way

Maybe you're better off this way (×4)
You're better off this (×2)
Maybe you're better off...

Wake up
(Why can't you?)
And face me
(Come on now)
Don't play dead
(Dont play dead)
'Cause maybe
(Because maybe)
Someday
(Someday)
I will walk away and say
You fucking disappoint me
Maybe you're better off this way!

Go ahead and play dead
(GO!)
I know that you can hear this
(GO!)
Go ahead and play dead
(GO!)

Why can't you turn and face me?
(WAKE UP!)
Why can't you turn against me?
(WAKE UP!)
Why can't you turn against me?
(WAKE UP!)
Why can't you turn against me?
(GO!)
You fucking disappoint me

Passive-aggressive bullshit... (×12)

No one gives a fuck what sent any of you here.

[IhateEverything100]

Good music sent me here 

[MrSomespecialguy]

just remember, all us guys that says this song fits us when their love broke up with them, if they broke with you by looks, then they dont know love at all. even though they say nice guys never win and break up with you for a "better looking guy", isnt that an experience for you to find a better girl? even if nice guys never win, im staying a nice guy and will walk on, and find the right one other than mourning or cursing about the one that i miss. try it. it'll work

@katiep9521 Nah not defensive but just stating my knowledge is all. No book for me, much other things to be created.

[katiep9521]

@NothingFanboy lol cool man...you shouldnt get all defensive then. peace ;) and let me know when you write the book

[NothingFanboy]

@katiep9521 I'm aware. APC has been cranking since 1999. I am a fan of Tool and Puscifer too. I'm not clueless, not claiming that your reply to my comment is implying it but I'm far from clueless on these great bands.

[katiep9521]
