Passive by A Perfect Circle

Another song... This is the time of Passive by A Perfect Circle. This is a song written by modern genius Maynard James Keenan, the singer of Tool, for the Constantine movie soundtrack and contained in the A Perfect Circle album Emotive. This song seems to talk about the cancer diagnosed to John Constantine in the first part of the movie... it seems to be "dead" but you can't say that at all... it is passive but aggressive...
As to the music, it is great in the tradition of the A Perfect Circle and Maynard voice adds the emotive atmosphere which is an add-on to everything he does.

These are the lyrics...enjoy!

Dead as dead can be
The 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

Leanin' 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 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

Maybe you’re better off this way
Maybe you’re better off this way
Maybe you’re better off this way
You’re better of this…you’re better off this…
Maybe you’re better off!

Wake up and face me
Don’t play dead cause maybe
Someday I will walk away and say
You fuckin' disappoint me
Maybe you’re better off this way

Go ahead and play dead
I know that you can hear this
Go ahead and play dead
Why can't you turn and face me?

Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
You fuckin' disappoint me

Passive aggressive bullshit
Passive aggressive bullshit
Passive aggressive bullshit
Passive aggressive bullshit...
