The Contrarian - A Perfect Circle

Hello, he lied

Like velvet this magician’s sleight of tongue and hand

Hello, he lied

Beware, belie his smile

As warm and calculated as heroin

Beware the Contrarian

Within everyone

A scale, a voice

Everyone but him

Core is black as pitch

Soul is out of tune

Advocate of none

Beware, belie his smile

Will cost you everything

Cloak and masquerades

Contempt for everyone

Hello, hello, he lied

Hello, he lied

Like velvet this magician’s sleight of tongue and hand

Hello, he lied

Beware, belie his smile

As warm and calculated as heroin

Beware the Contrarian
